noscript tags

[edintheclouds]

If noscript tags are not allowed in html 5 should I just delete them with the text contained inside, or is there another method to show that JavaScript is turned off within the content?

Hello,

The "noscript" element is allowed in HTML5, but not in XHTML/XML documents.

If you need to use "noscript", then you should probably change your document type from one that is based on XML.

This talks a little more about it:

In XHTML, the element is always parsed as a normal element, and can't really be used to stop content from being present when script is disabled.
