Check the browser preferences setup in Dreamweaver.

However:

The contents of the NOSCRIPT tag are only displayed if the browser
*doesn't* support scripting, or if the visitor has turned off scripting
in his browser's preferences. But the NOSCRIPT tag will not help if the
browser doesn't support the scripting language, or if there is a problem
with the script. Bit of a contradiction here in the effect :-)

Think about the above, and you'll realise that the NOSCRIPT tag is
really nonesense and, IMHO, should never be used.

Using commenting <!-- ... --> (best practice) instead is, IMHO, the
better solution for what is intended by the NOSCRIPT tag.

Further for rollovers, providing the application of the script is done
in the right way, the 'button-off' image will automatically be used
where a browser doesn't support scripting.

All IMHO of course  :-)
