Here is an example of how to do it without noscript (there are others).  
<noscript> is only needed when document.write is used.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
   <title>No script alternative</title>
   <style type="text/css">
     .secret {display: none}
   </style>
   <script type="text/javascript">
     function go() {
         document.getElementById('noscript').className="secret";
         document.getElementById('hasscript').className="public";;
         return true;
     }
   </script>
</head>
<body onload='go();'>
   <h1>A noscript alternative</h1>
   <p id='noscript'>This document has no script</p>
   <p id='hasscript' class='secret'>This document has script</p>
</body>
</html>
