No. <script> works differently in HTML and XHTML, because document.write doesn't work in XML. <noscript> is needed in HTML for those cases where the <script> elements haven't been able to do their document.write work, and you need *something* in its place. Using handlers, your method of working is different: you provide the initial content, and then modify it with DOM access methods, rather than using document.write. As a result, you don't need a method of providing <noscript> content. Put another way, the whole document is the noscript content which the handlers then modify. Steven Pemberton
