If you happen to end up in those environments again, I would appreciate it if you take a look at my prototype web-based message board.

It's designed for compatibility, and I've tested a lot of Netscapes and IE4, but nothing on Win311 yet.

If you want to leave a comment, you can do so right on the message board. It should work, more likely with JS off.

Many of the 3.1-era browsers didn't have a concept of JS yet. If you're relying on noscript at all it won't work.

I did try and check if this was the case, but both links in your profile that it could have been lead to "not found" dreamhost sites.

I feel obligated to comment, so that others are not led astray by parent comment, which is INCORRECT:

<noscript> works just fine in pre-JS browsers, at least all of the ones I've tried.

It works exactly as designed: Text between <noscript> and </noscript> is displayed in browsers without JS enabled (or supported).

I am not aware of any browsers where this is not the case, and I've tested in many, including Mosaic 1.x-3.x, NN 1.x-4.x, Opera up to 3.62, and others.

(You probably happened to visit my site during an upgrade. Sorry about that.)

Why would notscript not work on a browser that has no concept of JS?
