Special Message for Bots and Non-JavaScript Browsers

The video describes how to send a message to bots and to browsers that have JavaScript turned off or disabled. Browsers with JavaScript enabled ignore the message.

There is a way to send a message to bots and to browsers that have JavaScript turned off or disabled.

The message might be a special link presented for bots to follow.

Or you might have a feature on your web page that uses JavaScript. Without bothering people who's browsers comply, you can present a message to those with JavaScript disabled.

Here's an example.

<noscript>
Your special message here.
</noscript>

The noscript tag ensures only browsers (and robots/spiders) that don't parse JavaScript will get the message.

The message may contain HTML markup.

Note: To test the above code, you'll need to temporarily disable your browser's JavaScript or turn it off.
