9. Can we use Javascript and DHTML on our NOF-digitise Web site?
The use of client-side scripting (including javascript and DHTML
techniques) is acceptable, however please take note of the following
points:
1) The site must still be accessible to browsers which are not
scriptable. Use <noscript>< tags and "sniffer" routines to determine the
client capabilities and provide content-equivalent pages to
non-scriptable browsers.
2) Thoroughly test your pages for functionality under a wide range of
browser / platform configurations.

Seems fairly straightforward.
Good info on sniffer routines can be found here:

Note that most client side routines use Javascript (sort of a catch-22
possibility) and this is the ultimate:

Hope you find this useful.
