| Subject | <noscript> problem |
| Message-ID | <chkuofFkr3cU1@mid.individual.net> |
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;">
<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.
-Mel Smith

Why not start with the button hidden and use scripting - if allowed - to make it visible. -- "The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place." - Douglas Adams

Hi Tim (et al):
After reading all the warnings and suggestions from you folks, I did
what I always seem to do: Take the easy way out :( -- which is what Tim
suggested.
Here is Tim's method for accomplishing the 'hiding' of this 'buttons'
division:
*******************
<!-- in my CSS for this division I use: display:none; which hides this
button division. Then below I conditionally display it --->
<div id="ibuttons">
<input type="button" onclick="shostats()" id="istatsbutt" value="View
Statistics" />
<hr />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("ibuttons").style.display="block" ;
</script>
*******************
But I still have to re-read all the responses to see if I should 're-do'
this easy way out.
Thanks toTim and y'all

Hi Jukka:
It seems so easy for me.
I added a line in the style section of my page for div#ibuttons:
display:none;
then, made the ibuttons division display in a <script> </script>tag.
That worked correctly and took only a minute or so.
Now when actual highly complex page does load and display, the tiny
addition of those few lines seems to me inconsequential.
What *was* hard was finding out how to *disable scripting* for my current
version of FF so I could run the <noscript> tests !
For those who haven't tried it on late versions of FF, here it is:
In the address bar of FF, one enters: 'about:config', then, after
promising to be careful, go looking for the 'javascript:enabled' setting,
Then, when you find it, right-click it, then toggle its value to 'false'.
*That* took me nearly an hour of googling before I happened on a post that
mentioned about the new way that FF is hiding the disabling of scripting
Thanks for the response.

Cmd-Opt/Alt-i works, and the Settings button is the third from the right below the top right corner (the gear icon) in Firefox 34.0.5 and 35.0 for Mac OS X. The “Disable JavaScript” checkbox is below “Advanced settings”. -- PointedEars FAQ: <http://PointedEars.de/faq> | SVN: <http://PointedEars.de/wsvn/> Twitter: @PointedEars2 | ES Matrix: <http://PointedEars.de/es-matrix> Please do not cc me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.

Just turn the question around: what is a correct and simple way to show
a hidden button if scripting is available in a browser? That's rather
easy to accomplish:
<button id="my_button" style="display: none">Label</button>
<script>
document.getElementById("my_button").style.display = ""
</script>
However, it is even better to avoid hidden buttons, that require browser
side scripting to be useful, in the first place (consider CSS being not
available), so the following solution comes to mind:
<script>
document.write('<button id="my_button">Label<\/button>');
</script>

Christoph and Tim Streater said essentially the same thing.
Thanks Christoph !

When scripting is disabled, you want to *exclude* the button. Here you would *include* it (though with a presentational suggestion that it should not be presented). This would not affect the presence of the button that you have specified earlier. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/

Oops. Right. Sorry. There was a some circuitry error in my brain,
hopefully a temporary one.
For a button that is completely JavaScript-driven (as opposite to a
submit button, which has non-JavaScript action too), the appropriate way
is to generate the button dynamically. For example:
<div id="ibuttons"></div>
<script>
document.getElementById('ibuttons').innerHTML =
'<input type="button" onclick="shostats()" id="istatsbutt" ' +
'value="View Statistics" /><hr />';
</script>

To generate it with client-side scripting (“progressive enhancement”). document.write() has been mentioned, but if you are concerned that this slows down rendering (which it does) too much, use document.createElement(), document.getElementById() and HTMLElement::appendChild() onload. (An example for that – filling out the results column – can be found in the ECMAScript Support Matrix [see sig] if you run the tests. document.write() is only used as fallback there.) <http://www.w3.org/wiki/Graceful_degradation_versus_progressive_enhancement> (I have not reviewed the entire article.) No space is written before sentence-ending marks in Germanic languages like English. -- PointedEars FAQ: <http://PointedEars.de/faq> | SVN: <http://PointedEars.de/wsvn/> Twitter: @PointedEars2 | ES Matrix: <http://PointedEars.de/es-matrix> Please do not cc me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.$

Name one instance where it is orthographically correct in English to write a space before a sentence-ending mark.
