Where to put <noscript>?

Post by Areometer »

Hello Guys & Gals,

Sorry if this topic had been beaten to death, but I had no luck w/ the search function when I used noscript as the keyword.

I want to put a noscript phantom index there to please search bots, but where should I put it? Within the body tag, or before that, or ... ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, as far as I know it goes within the body tag. If you look at the main site and view source you'll see a noscript tag set up for this site. http://milonic.com/ Usually, the people set it for browsers that have js turned off, so they usually do it with design in mind.

You can also try the list based menu, this builds the menu based on a list ul/li stuff so that it's already on the page and as far as I know the bots read that. You'll see a listbased menu in the extras folder in the download, and here's a sample page http://milonic.com/listbased/

Hello,

The NOSCRIPT tag should be used within the body. I use the noscript tag to design a backup menu in case the user doesn't have javascript enabled in their browser. To see an example, go to my site (in my signature) and look at the code. Then go to FireFox and turn off javascript.

Hope this helps :>)
