Checking for disabled Javascript with Rails

June 8th, 2009 by Radar

When you go to sign up to Basecamp it displays a form where you can enter your details, but only if you have Javascript turned on. If you have Javascript turned off, then you’re presented with a message telling you to turn on Javascript.

I made my own little gist showing what can be done with the noscript tag here and it’s just a minimalist version of what the Basecamp guys have done.

Unfortunately Gist is still a little feature-bare so I had to make 3 gists for the files, even though you can put multiple files in the same gist.

index.html

noscript.css

style.css

Ironically, you’re not able to view the files above with Javascript turned off.

    You can embed skitches easily enough I think for us poor-timed people who can’t justify the effort to click through :)
