but no, XOOPS will not function with Javascript disabled.

XOOPS works with javascript disabled, just disable it yourself in your browser to see...

Popups and adding tags through the editor won't work, but that's what the person wants if they have disabled javascript. Why state the obvious?

I guess you could display the status in a custom HTML block?
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write ("JavaScript is on");
</script>
<noscript>JavaScript is off</noscript>

well as jcdunnard says.. it will work, but they may have problems as mentioned..

there's lots of modules that use javascript.

in fact xoops.js will not function..

calendar will not function, some menu items may not function.. and there's probably more things that will not function either.

so what i should have said was Yes XOOPS will work, but as a lot of things require the use of javascript, but it won't work properly if javascript is disabled.

I added this to my theme to display a warning message if the user's browser has Javascript disabled:

<{* Display warning message if Javascript is not suppported by client. *}>
<tr>
   <td colspan='2'>
      <script type='text/javascript'>
         document.write("<div style='display:none'>");
      </script>

      <div class='errorMsg'>
         Warning: Your browser does not support Javascript.  Some features of this site will not operate correctly.
      </div>

      <script type='text/javascript'>
         document.write('</div>');
      </script>
   </td>
</tr>


The 'display:none' style hides the message if Javascript is enabled. Otherwise the message will appear.

The table tags (tr, td) may need tweaking, depending on the theme this is placed in.
