detect if javascript is enabled/disabled

[Antonio Giovanni]

Hi all,

Is there a way on the java server side to detect, if the javascript is enabled or disabled on the client m/c..

It would be great if somebody can give an example code..
i appreciate your help

A rough outline would go like this:
1) Open a session on the first page you serve
2) in that page, include JavaScript code that will hit a particular URL. This needs to happen w/o the user doing anything, e.g. disguise it as an image URL.
3) in that URL, include a parameter that uniquely identifies the session from which the page was served
4) once that URL is requested, make a note in the session that JS is enabled

If your entry page has a form, use a hidden variable in the form and have an onload javascript write a different value into the variable.
