    PHP and/or Javascript

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to test if javascript is on with
    PHP or any other language. I need to test if it is enabled and if it
    isnt, redirect to another page. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Will

      Only Javascript can test if Javascript is enabled.

      Given that, you would be much better off asking this in comp.lang.javas cript

      Actually, you would be even better off searching the forum first, since this
      exact question has been discussed at least twice in the past month. There
      were a few decent solutions proposed - you could take your pick!

          Hi Will,

          If you want to test if Javascript is on in your browser make a file
          called test.html with the following



          <html>
          <head>
          </head>
          <body>
          <p>
          <script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">
          <!--
          document.write( "javascript is enabled in your browser. In your browser
          preferences try turning javascript off and reload this page.")
          // -->
          </script>
          <noscript>
          javascript and is not enabled in your browser. In your browser
          preferences try turning javascript on and reload this page.
          </noscript>
          </p>
          </body>
          </html>

          So you do not need to use php to do the check. Like Tony said and the
          above example shows, just use Javascript.

          You might want to check out this page I put together. Download the
          technologyExamp les.zip files and read the readme. It is rough but
          should help you out if you want to test other technology out (xml,
          xslt,...).

                  It'd be a lot easier to redirect using javascript - that way if it's not on
                  you'll know about it.

                      In fact, not only do you not *need* PHP to do the check, you really
                      *can't* use PHP to do the check!

                      Your code example is the only reliable way to check if JS is "on"

                          And it doesn't rely on <noscript>, which doesn't always work.
