  • jsReq

    I wanted to tell the user that they need JavaScript, but obviously only if they don’t already have it enabled.
    The following is a very crude script which uses the very fact that JS is available to hide the requirement notice…

    HTML:

    <!-- "jsReq" - Jez McKean (jazzle.co.uk) 2006-04-24 */ -->
    <div id="jsRequiredDiv" class="important"><span class="error">Warning!</span>
    You need to have javascript enabled to use this page.</div>

    JS:

    function removeElementById(eleId) {
    eleId = document.getElementById(eleId);
    if (eleId.parentNode && eleId.parentNode.removeChild) {
    eleId.parentNode.removeChild(eleId);
    }
    }
    removeElementById("jsRequiredDiv");
