Its not codes fault, its humans fault. (designed as if it wasn't there)Any elements that would require JavaScript, I place inside a tag something like:Once you are used to this method, it's fairly easy to hybridize your code to handle both situations, although I am only now experimenting with the A common solution is to the meta tag in conjunction with noscript to refresh the page and notify the server when JavaScript is disabled, like this:In the above example when JavaScript is disabled the browser will redirect to the home page of the web site in 0 seconds.

Also, your spacing is off.

– Meek Aug 16 '13 at 8:55. If your app was built FOR Javascript, then what's wrong with requiring what 99% of users have enabled anyway? A slightly crude solution, but it'll give you a good idea percentage-wise for your user base.The above approach (image tracking) won't work well for text-only browsers or those that don't support js at all, so if your userbase swings primarily towards that area, this mightn't be the best approach.This is what worked for me: it redirects a visitor if javascript is disabledIf your use case is that you have a form (e.g., a login form) and your server-side script needs to know if the user has JavaScript enabled, you can do something like this:This will change the value of js_enabled to 1 before submitting the form. I would not trust this to work reliably in all browsers (including future browsers which you cannot currently test in), as they may perform error recovery in different ways.This may be invalid, but look at Facebook's code, it uses the same solution in the part - which doesn't mean it's a very good solution, because Facebook's code is far from a valid code, BUT it can mean that it works on many users' browser, which can be an important aspect. noscript elements cannot contain meta elements. and closes it "rapidly" - from the client side?

(NOTE: NOSCRIPT is only available in Netscape Navigator 3.0 and up.

- If Javascript is disable, it will show the css 'content:' rule text.

I'm making a small site that won't be generally public (consider like an intranet but for friends getting together to work on a project). Note: Without a label reference, the break statement can only be used inside a loop or a switch.


Are you validating just to validate? You basically add an element that appears somehow on the page, for example the 'pop-ups' on Stack Overflow when you earn a badge, with an appropriate message, then remove this with some Javascript that runs as soon as the page is loaded (and I mean the DOM, not the whole page).Detect it in what? JavaScript try and catch The try statement allows you to define a block of …

if there is JS support the .no-js class will be replaced giving you all the styles as usual.noscript tags are okay but why have extra stuff in your html when it can be done with csswould work in any case right? It can then send a special non-JavaScript version of the web site to the client.If javascript is disabled your client-side code won't run anyway, so I assume you mean you want that info available server-side. Because noscript tag is not XHTML compliant. @Piskvor - the
