I forgot to say Thank you for your response! I did go attempt to read the http://www.webaim.org/discussion/mail_thread.php?thread=2891, it served only to confuse me further.
Sharron, <NOSCRIPT> is intended as a sort of partner element to <SCRIPT>. It provides content for user agents (browsers, screen readers, search engines, etc.) that don't have Javascript enabled and thus won't see whatever the SCRIPT block produces. If all the SCRIPT block produces is a dancing bear or some other non-essential fluff, then it is OK to skip the NOSCRIPT element. But if the SCRIPT block creates something important/essential (like a navigation menu) then the NOSCRIPT block serves an important purpose by providing that navigation menu for script-less user agents. With this in mind, can you see how transparent 1x1 images are not going to be of much help? There's no simple answer as to what should go in a NOSCRIPT element, or if you should even have one at all. You can get some hints pretty quickly by turning Javascript off and trying to browse your site. If you find that important parts of your site are missing, those are the gaps that your NOSCRIPT elements need to fill.
