Is it possible to create a announcements list so that when there is no announcements, it will display a "default" announcement ?
A:
Another non-JavaScript approach would be to use SharePoint Designer to convert the view into a DataViewWebPart. The menuing options available in the DVWP gives an option to display text when there are no items available to display.
