[Ashok Kumar]

How do you check if javascript is enabled or disabled in a browser?Also i need the specifics for IE,FireFox and Mac browsers.

I found a workaround for this problem.I thought others might benefit from it.So i am posting the code here.

The workaround here is we set a cookie and try to get it which is possible only if javascript is enabled.

 <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function hasKookies() {
 

        SetKookie("_tst","Y");
 
        var tst = GetKookie("_tst");
 
        DeleteKookie("_tst");
 
        if (tst == "Y")
 
                return 1;
 
        return 0;
 
}
 

 
function GetKookie (name, dc) {
 
        var dKookie = (dc != null) ? dc : document.Kookie;
 
        var cname = name + "=";
 
        var clen = dKookie.length;
 
        var cbegin = 0;
 
        while (cbegin < clen) {
 
                var vbegin = cbegin + cname.length;
 
                if (dKookie.substring(cbegin, vbegin) == cname) {
 
                        var vend = dKookie.indexOf (";", vbegin);
 
                        if (vend == -1) vend = clen;
 
                        if (vbegin != clen)
 
                                return unescape(dKookie.substring(vbegin, vend));
 
                        else return null
 
                }
 
                cbegin = dKookie.indexOf(" ", cbegin) + 1;
 
                if (cbegin == 0) break;
 
        }
 
        return null;
 
}
 

 
function SetKookie (name,value,expires,path,domain,secure) {
 
        document.Kookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
 
        ((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
 
        ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
 
        ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +

"; secure" ;
 
        //((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
 
}
 

 
function DeleteKookie (name,path,domain) {
 
        if (GetKookie(name)) {
 
                document.Kookie = name + "=" +
 
                ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
 
                ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
 
                "; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT";
 
        }
 
}
 

 
function Is ()
 
{
 
    var agt=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()
 
    this.major = parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
 

 
    this.nav  = ((agt.indexOf('mozilla')!=-1) && ((agt.indexOf('spoofer')==-1)
 
                && (agt.indexOf('compatible') == -1)))
 
    this.nav4up = this.nav && (this.major >= 4)
 

 

 
    this.ie   = (agt.indexOf("msie") != -1)
 
    this.ie4up  = (this.ie && (this.major >= 4))
 

 
    this.opera = (agt.indexOf("opera") != -1)
 
}
 

 
var is = new Is()
 
if(!hasKookies()) 
{
out.println("Javascript disabled");
 
} else {
out.println("Javascript enabled");
}
</Script>

replace Kookie with cookie
