I know requiring javascript on a webpage has been a hot topic the last couple years.

I'm wondering if someone wanted to use custom elements but still allow the website to be usable without javascript how would they do that?

Would they have to add a <noscript> with regular elements? or is there some way for browsers to know what to fall back to if a custom element is used but javascript isn't enabled?

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to figure out what happens to your tags with JavaScript disabled? – svidgen Oct 26 at 23:34
    
I'm wondering what the best practice would be for someone who wants to use the new web components standard and still provide a usable experience for people who don't want to use javascript – Tony Brix Oct 27 at 4:14
    
The answer to most questions along the line “I want to do fancy stuff with JS but only as progressive enhancement” is “server-side rendering”. – amon Oct 27 at 8:22
