Please, please, please...

Do not create web pages for checkers, create them for people.

As Julian has pointed out, if the js file does nothing but screen tricks,
then telling a non-visual user, or a user or an alternative UA is kinda
silly don't you think? To what good does it do the end user? However, if
it provides important functionality, then, yes, provide the alternative
"method" in a <noscript> tag. Better yet, for a more uniform delivery, can
the "function" that you are providing be done via server side script?
Probably a better all round alternative anyway.

Just my 2 cents worth
