The icon is white if no <script> HTML element has been found on the page, and it's always been this way: in other words, it should be taken just as an loose indication of the dependency of the page on scripting, but it's not meant to be accurate especially in regard of scriptlets embedded inside HTML attributes (e.g. event handlers or javascript: URLs), whose detection at load time would be excessively performance-heavy and error-prone.Tom T. wrote:But agree with the point: If NS treats that one hook as a script, then the icon should be blue and white, not plain white, when scripting is allowed and that particular hook (or any other with JS-type function) is allowed.
I too found it strange to see the solid-white icon, but script from petercollingridge showing in the Allowed or TA menu.
Giorgio?
BTW, this is stated quite clearly on http://noscript.net/features :
noscript.net wrote: The number of detected <script> tags for current page is shown in a tooltip when you fly over the icon with your mouse. If the "S" inside the icon is white rather than blue, 0 script tags have been detected: this likely means you don't need to enable JavaScript in that page at all.
