Hi:

    I'm just starting to use the <noscript> tag on a page -- but having 
problems understnding it and getting it to work for me.

Problem:

    If scripting is not available on a browser, I wish to Hide a Button.

    Here is the button:

**************************
<div id="ibuttons">
<input type="button" onclick="shostats()" id="istatsbutt" value="View 
Statistics" />
<hr />
</div>
**************************

<!-- and here is my failed attempt to 'hide' that button. Doesn't hide it in 
latest version of Firefox-->
<!-- This next set of statements is placed immediately after the above div 
code lines -->

**************************
<noscript>
<div id="ibuttons" style="display:none;">&nbsp;
<hr />
</div>
</noscript>
**************************

    I know I really should not use the same id twice but I did. And I'm 
obviously confused about how to use <noscript> correctly.

Summary Question:

   What is a correct and simple way to hide this button if scripting is 
disallowed in a browser ?

Thank you.
