Netscape 4.x has separate options to turn off style sheets and scripting. However, if scripting is turned off, style sheet ability is also turned off.
Netscape 6 Betas 1 and 2 had no way to display NOSCRIPT content - turning off scripting did NOT make the content appear. This behavior was fixed in Beta 3.
