I suppose you would have to put a message in a label then.

Can I use Ajax Modal Popup .. does it work if java script is disabled

No.. use css to accomplish this.... by taking a div display none, and show that div with message when u want to show.. style that particular div like modal popup using only CSS.. hope this helps.

Not quite sure how "AJAX" and "Javascript-Disabled" can go together in a single sentence in this context!!

If you can't show an alert box because javascript is disabled, then guess what? You sure as hell aint going to be able to do an ajax call!!

How about you take the opposite approach?
(always)Generate a message that says there's no javascript enabled and that functionality is reduced. Then, after the page has loaded, use javascript to remove these messages and to attach the relevant event handlers..

Seems like the clear and obvious approach to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
