statcounter and noscript

[informactive]

I started using noscript about a week ago and I have statcounter on my home page.

I read below after seeing a problem with Noscript popups coming when I click on my home page.

So I removed everything between opening and closing <noscript> and now Noscript does not pop up on my web site.

Is what I did OK with Noscript support?

maybe I am missing something obvious here but I don't get the question? what you put between the noscript tags of a website have no bearing to the use of this addon. So not sure what you are asking. Also not sure why you needed to post two identical threads on this, so I deleted the duplicate topic, asking once is sufficient.

I use statcounter script on my web page to keep track of page hits.

Prior to removing what goes between Statcounter <noscript>*****</noscript>

NoScript would pop up warning about script on my page.

below is part of Statcounter script I removed and some entries replaced by ****'s just in case they mean something.

<noscript>
<div class="statcounter">
<a href="http://www.statcounter.com/free_hit_counter.html" target="_blank">
<img class="statcounter" src="http://c6.statcounter.com/*****/0/******/1/" alt="web hit counter">
</a></div>
</noscript>

After I removed above, NoScript does not pop up giving me a warning.

Question is does it matter other than prevent NoScript from popping up or is it something I'm thinking having more to do with Statcounter.com

Understood. I am sure Giorgio will weigh in on this if I am wrong but the reason that is triggering NoScript (stating there is a script on your site) is that in fact the link to statcounter is a script that returns/records the values that are later provided to you. So indeed it is a script, however benign to some, it is a script and why its detected. The reason the notification goes away is because it is no longer an issue, so nothing to trigger. Now simply being detected by NoScript doesn't mean its malicious but it will notify the user that there is a script somewhere on the page. In your case hiding inside the <NOSCRIPT> tag which many consider a webbug of some sort and may look at it less favorably and trigger notifications. Anyway, hope that helps clear things up a bit.
