HTML5: How to define an alternate content for users that do not support client-side scripts?

Last update on February 10 2024 11:42:44 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declares the document type and version of HTML -->
<html><!-- Begins the HTML document -->
<head><!-- Contains metadata about the document -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Specifies the character encoding of the document -->
<title>How to define an alternate content for users that do not support client-side scripts</title><!-- Sets the title of the document -->
<script><!-- Begins a JavaScript script -->
document.write("w3resource") <!-- Writes "w3resource" to the document -->
</script><!-- Ends the JavaScript script -->
<noscript>Sorry, your browser does not support JavaScript!</noscript><!-- Provides alternative content for users whose browsers do not support JavaScript -->
</head><!-- Ends the head section -->
<body><!-- Contains the content of the document -->
</body><!-- Ends the body section -->
</html><!-- Ends the HTML document -->

Explanation:

The HTML document starts with a declaration of its type and version (<!DOCTYPE html>).
The <html> element encloses the entire HTML document.
The <head> section contains metadata about the document, such as character encoding and title.
The <meta charset="utf-8"> tag specifies the character encoding of the document as UTF-8.
The <title> tag sets the title of the document.
Inside the <head> section, a <script> element begins a JavaScript script.
The JavaScript code document.write("w3resource") writes "w3resource" to the document.
The <noscript> element provides alternative content for users whose browsers do not support JavaScript, displaying the message "Sorry, your browser does not support JavaScript!".
The <body> section contains the content of the document, which is currently empty in this example.
The HTML document is properly closed with the </html> tag.
