I read somewhere that webpages should appear (mostly) intact even with Javascript disabled. In my page, I utilize Javascript to dynamically add a table to my page upon load. I was wondering whether there was any way to display a blank table aside from obnoxious
<tr><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td></tr>
placeholder chains such as the above or otherwise hard-coding the default table values into the HTML.
the <noscript> tag runs when javascript was disabled or not there.
<noscript>Your browser does not support JavaScript!</noscript>
there you can include the table. css can do that job too. set it as hidden by default but if no script, re-write css by setting it to display again, make sure this is below the css responsible for hiding it
here is a link for the non-script tag

also you shouldn't worry that much im saying because less than 2% of users are actually browsing with javascript off, and most of those are robots crawling
