Issue Using a browser with JavaScript disabled causes display and validation problems with Marketo forms.
Solution When JavaScript is disabled in a browser, it can cause a couple of different behaviors. For embedded forms, the form will not load on the page because it is loaded by JavaScript. For non-embedded forms on a Marketo landing page, the form will load but it will be a bare bones version of the form that does not validate field input, because validation is handled by JavaScript.
If you want to display a message to users with JavaScript disabled, you can use the “noscript” tag to display a message that prompts users to enable it in order to render the page correctly: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_noscript.asp
Here’s an example using that with an embedded form: <script src="//app-sjst.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.min.js"></script> <form id="mktoForm_1001"></form> <script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-sjst.marketo.com", "507-ILX-247", 1001);</script> <noscript>You have JavaScript disabled! Please enable JavaScript for the best experience on this site.</noscript>
For a Marketo landing page, I added an HTML Element with just the last line from the example above: <noscript>You have JavaScript disabled! Please enable JavaScript for the best experience on this site.</noscript>
Alternatively, you can use a redirect solution like this, which will send users with JavaScript disabled to another page:
<html>
<head>
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.marketo.com">
</noscript>
</head>
<body>
<p>Fancy redirect page if JavaScript is not detected.</p>
</body>
</html>
