Using DIV to hide form is Javascript not enabled in browser - How?
Hi All

I've heard that you can use the DIV tag somehow to hide a form if javascript is not enabled in the browser.

How would this be done?

I use a lot of javascript form validation stuff and would like to prevent anyone from using the forms unless they have javascript enabled

Thanks so much Smile

Maybe <noscript> ?

Think the formats like;

<script>sdo stuff here</script>
<noscript>show normal HTML here, if scripts are turned off =)</noscript>

Hope that helps :)

Cheers

This isn't the DIV solution your looking for but it may help or give some ideas...

The description mentions something about <noscript>.

I have a form that uses the DIV tag to hide certain boxes, but I don't know how it'd affect JavaScript.

Lemme look at my form, and I'll see...

... yes you can.

My form uses layers and then a chunk of javascript to "hide" a text area box (unless someone selects that option on a pull down). With JavaScript (active scripting) disabled in IE then the text area box remains hidden regardless of the selected item.

The javascript I based mine on is here:
