Feature request - "JavaScript must be enabled to use this site/feature" interstitial

[elisechant]

Provide a component which might be used in a feature switch situation if JavaScript is disabled and the feature requires JavaScript.

You can achieve this with the <noscript> element, and may or may not be toggled off by leveraging the style class html.no-js. For reference, Facebook use something like this on their main desktop site.

I expect the interstitial would provide at minimum:

• a description - which we would need a content designer to supply
• instructions for how to optionally enable JavaScript
• a call to action to an alternate service platform - perhaps optionally this could be "click to call", "click to download"

@elisechant Good suggestion - we've had a couple of discussions amongst the teams about implementing modals/interstitials and it sounds like you've described a good use case.

I've added a story to our backlog, I'll give you an update here when we've got it on the roadmap.

👍 love it

Agreed we should do this but need make the wording super simple:

This tool will not work because JavaScript is turned off in your browser. Find out how to turn on JavaScript

@joolswood Awesome if you could provide some word-smithing on this?

[joolswood]

Sure @TrebBrennan will have a chat with you presently.

Tracked under DESIGN-319.

We really need this. Currently we're doing this:
