    Question about Javascript

    I'm working with Perl and trying to write a Perl script that will access
    sites
    requiring a "password". Each time I run my code I get the following message:
    <noscript>
    <br>
    <b> We have detected that your browser does not support Javascript or its
    use is currently disabled. </b> <br>
    Javascript must be enabled to properly present you several pages on this
    site, including "Your Portfolio".
    <br> <br>
    </noscript>

    How can I find out if Javescript is enabled on my browser and if not how
    can I correct?

    Thanks

    Jim

      If that's the exact message, with the HTML, that's not generated in your
      browser is it? The Perl script that's connecting to the web site is
      passing that to you - it's Perl that doesn't support JS, surely?

          Thanks Hywel for responding.

          I'm not sure how to answer your question, but I think that message is coming
          from the HTPPS web site I'm trying to access. I get it only when I try to
          access a site that requires a password even though my Perl script lists the
          proper password.

              The site sends that message to everybody who hits it, regardless
              of whether or not they have Javascript enabled.

              Browsers that have Javascript enabled are expected to understand
              that they should ignore anything in the <noscript> block.

              If you're seeing normal content in addition to that block, then
              you should ignore it. If there is also some Javascript code on
              that page that redirects Javascript enabled browsers to another
              page, then maybe the web site owner is trying to tell you that
              he doesn't want you to use your password to open his site to all
              of your friends.

                  It isn't your browser that's accessing the site. It's the Perl client
                  you wrote. And Perl doesn't support javascript, so the site's check
                  fails.

                  browser -> (perl) -> other site
                  perl is the real client that is doing the http request of the other
                  site, not your browser.
