'Browser don't support JS' - message

#114

Hi,

One someone load a cappuccino app with a browser that doesn't have JS or simply disabled JS... you just see the spinning wheel for a long time... like there is something that is loading...

I just want to avoid those messages from 'I waited a half hour but noting happened' and I want to avoid that users went away...

My suggestion is that the index.html file add a noscript tag. The spinning wheel may only be visible if there is supported JS (so: JS -> write '' ) and the noscript tag (one there isn't JS supported) should show a nice, centered, colored message 'Your browser doesn't support JavaScript, please enabled JavaScript or use another browser (or update to the newest version' Or whatever...

    Hi,

    I thought I'd have a go at this so I forked cappuccino and made the changes that I thought were necessary. You can have a look at http://github.com/nabs749/cappuc...

    I'm new to Cappuccino and GitHub so please let me know if I've done anything wrong (or if you think I could do something better!)

    Regards Nabil

    We're just waiting on building a page to host at Cappuccino.org right?

    Will the url to that page be customizable? I guess that it could be use-full in some situations to link to a own page with your logo, alternatives etc... and default the page of Cappuccino.org

    Well, it will literally just be a URL in the index.html file. You can do whatever you want in index.html, so you could certainly change the URL.

    I agree with Ross above - the user will be able to overwrite this link very easily if they so choose.

    Anyway, I've put together some pages (see noJS.zip). I've assumed that the cappuccino.org site has PHP support. You will need the sites CSS and images folder to make my pages render properly, and I'm sure you will need to fiddle them a bit before uploading them.

    Let me know if you have any feedback.

    Just uploaded it here for testing:

    http://cappuccino.org/noscript/

    I will play around with it a bit more, but I think this can definitely get put into 0.7.

    Things I want to add are: 1) possibly pictures 2) links to all the browsers in case detection isn't working 3) a link for a google search in the event that these aren't kept up to date particularly well.
