Perusing through the forums I discovered this simple but very nice mod. Thanks Boomer!

I implemented it using the method mickna described.

I have updated the content of the file to better reflect current browsers as well as some corrections for language, spelling, layout, and etcetera.

The following browsers are included in the information below:

Mozilla 1.X
Opera 5.X
Opera 7.X
Safari Public Beta 2 for MACOSX
Internet Explorer 3.X
Internet Explorer 4.X
Internet Explorer 5.X
Internet Explorer 5.X for MACOSX
Internet Explorer 5 for MACOS9
Internet Explorer 6.X
Netscape 3.X
Netscape 4.X
Netscape 4.X for MACOS9
Netscape 6.X for MACOSX
Netscape 7.X
AOL 3.0
AOL 4.0 and 5.0

The resulting code for a file called skin1/customer/no_javascript.tpl:

Code:

<center>
<table bgcolor="white" width="80%" cellpadding="5"><tr><td>
<p align="center"><FONT COLOR="#FF0000" SIZE="-1">*** ERROR *** 
JAVASCRIPT IS REQUIRED TO USE THIS SITE! </FONT></p>

Note to AOL 4.0 & 5.0 users

 

When using the use AOL browser, you may get a Javascript error but, when using an external browser (i.e., Netscape or Internet Explorer) this does not occur. AOL uses compressed graphics by Default. This doesn't allow Java to work while browsing inside AOL. (Additionally, this makes photos you view on web pages look less than optimal.)

 

Do the following: 
  1. Click My AOL.
  2. Click Preferences.
  3. Click the WWW icon.
  4. Click Web Graphics tab.
  5. Uncheck the box next to Use Compressed Graphics.
  6. Click OK Restart the computer.

Note that there are both 16-bit and 32-bit versions of AOL 4.0. Only the 32-bit version has full Java capabilites.
