You can't do a non-JS back button on the page because the only way a back
button can work is with JavaScript.

You can make the JS close link only appear if JS is enabled, by using a JS
document.write to put it into the page:

<script>
document.write('<a href="self.close;">Close window</a>');
</script>

and you can add anything that you want only non JS browsers to see by
enclosing it in <noscript> tags:

<noscript>
Please close the window
</noscript>

Only one of the above bits of code should display, the first if JS is
enabled and the second if not.
