title: Using <noscript> within <head>: Good idea or bad idea?
body: <p>I noticed Facebook does this where they have a meta refresh enclosed in a <code>&lt;noscript&gt;</code> enclosed in the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> tag. They use this to detect if the user agent has javascript enabled or not.</p>
  
  <p>We were thinking of using this method for 2 reasons:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>To auto redirect to a non-js optimized version of the site as facebook does.</li>
  <li>To include a non-js stylesheet to hopefully disable the finger pointer over javascript only anchors as well as for CSS3 complaint browsers, fading those buttons out to make it more obvious they are disabled (not working rather).</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Will using this method for the above reasons cause any adverse effects that will affect a large percentage of user agents?</p>
