Thanks, very interesting, but doesn't match the situation at hand.
The question is, how to "hide" the page elements that don't work in
a non-JS browser, assuming there are other elements that either do
or - considering your example - are only JS-enriched and gracefully
degrade already.

Yes, but that's invalid XHTML, plus I think Lynx would show it
anyway, or at least, the paragraph/div would take up vertical
space. I kind of like my solution there, I just think it isn't
applicable to all of the potential cases the question applies
to.
