## Description

A simple, lightweight WordPress plugin for displaying a notification bar at the 
top of the webpage if 1st-party JavaScript is disabled. If appropriate, the entire
website may as well be blocked by a full-page overlay instead of just a small bar.

The plugin offers configuration of background and foreground color, opacity, notification
message text and font size. Individual customization by means of CSS snippets is
also supported.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/javascript-notifier` directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. Use the Settings->JavaScript Notifier screen to configure the plugin

## FAQ

### Does JavaScript Notifier support multilingual sites?

Yes, it does. A corresponding `wpml-config.xml` language configuration file can 
be found in the plugin’s home directory.

### Instead at the top, I would like to have the notification bar being displayed at the bottom of the page. Would that be possible?

Sure. Just enter the following CSS code into the Custom CSS input field: `top:inherit;
bottom:0`

### Does JavaScript Notifier cope with optimization plugins?

In order to work flicker-free, JavaScript Notifier requires one short piece of inline
JavaScript code to remain in its exact place. Therefore, it should be excluded from
all kind of optimization. Since the code piece is labelled `hide-javascript-notifier-
js`, the easiest way would be to add that label to the optimization plugin’s JavaScript
exclusion list, or the like.

Needed to warn users that JavaScript is essential for some pages. Found this, installed
and activated it. Works a treat. Very simple to set up.
