Checking for Javascript using VBScript
I would like to know if there is a way to check if a user's browser has Javascript enabled. I however can't do this using Javascript, for obvious reasons. The only other alternative is by using client-side ASP.NET, which is browser dependant (at this stage), or by using VBScript, which is also browser dependant, but more widely implimented. Any alternatives for detecting this client-side, browser setting would also be welcome.
Thanx

": would it still execute the code between the noscript tags-even if javascript is enabled?"
no thats the purpose of the <noscript> tags.
if javascript is enabled then it will ignore the script between the <noscript> tag and instead execute whats between
<script> tag,
"Does this mean that server-side ASP, when placed after the noscript tags setting the headers to redirect to the page containing javascript would fail to execute as result of the redirect between the noscript tags?"
yes
