Does ticking the "Hide <NOSCRIPT> elements" checkbox mean that anything between a <NOSCRIPT>...</NOSCRIPT> is not displayed or executed?

I'm asking because I came across an embedded script between these tags:

Code: Select all

<noscript>
 <object data="http://example.org/cgi-bin/URLtracker.php?tracker_mode=noscript" type="text/html"></object>

</noscript>

That smells dangerously like a scripting trap.

Actually, I'm going to guess that's just the standard "You have JavaScript disabled. Please enable it to use this website." page; if you provide a specific link, I'll try to check for you.

As for "Hide NOSCRIPT elements", I'm not sure if it just hides them or actually removes them. The NoScript FAQ didn't say anything about that, so I reckon we'll have to wait for Mr. Maone or a user with experience with that setting.

That setting hides <NOSCRIPT> elements (as the label implies) using CSS.
