Noscript Tag in HTML
FREE
Overview
The no-script tag is an HTML element like a head, body, paragraph, etc. As the name suggests, no script is used to render alternate content. The HTML <noscript></noscript> tag is used to display alternate content if your browser does not support the scripting language used in the main content of the page you are currently loading. You can place it in HTML <head> as well as the <body> tag.
Syntax
The <noscript></noscript> tag syntax is pretty much simple like other HTML tags, you just need to put your alternate content between the opening tag <noscript> and closing tag </noscript> <noscript> Alternate message...</noscript>
N-script tag Attributes
The Global Attributes are the only ones that apply to the <noscript> tag. The <noscript> tag has no attributes that are unique to it.
What Does the Noscript Tag Do?
We talk a lot about JavaScript support in browsers, and you've probably heard about Chrome's disabled javascript settings. This isn't just about JavaScript and Chrome; any browser that supports any scripting language used on a web page qualifies. But what if our browser doesn't support or has disabled the scripting language used on the web page?
Our browser won't be able to load the scripts, display this issue to the user, or display alternate content in the case of an error. We utilize the noscript>/noscript> tag; for a better understanding, see the sample below.
Example of Noscript Tag in HTML

Conclusion
- The HTML <noscript> element can be placed in either the <head> or <body> tags.
