What’s the best way to implement a “you must have JS enabled” message? My site simply won’t work without JS at the moment.

Should I use the <noscript> tag? Should I hide the entire page’s content, put a message about needing JS enabled, and then hide the message and show the content with JS? — This might cause the message to be temporarily visible.

Is there a site I can direct my users to that describes how to enable JS in different browsers? Maybe a blurb about that stupid noscript FF addon too?

    you could also hide the wrapper in the content like

    <body>
    <div class="js-on">
       ...content here
    </div>
    <div class="js-off">
      warning: you must have javascript enabled
    </div>
</body>

.js-on{display:none;}
.js-off{display:block;}

    and remove/toggle both classes with javascript. 😉

    but as a fallfack for browsers that do not support css: 

          <noscript>

    -tag is the best solution
