Detect Browser settings
Is there a way to detect if the CLient Browser Javascript is disabled?
We have a large application form that folks fill out and there's validation thats JavaScript based.
Works fine if Javascript is enabled.
Works...but allows invalid text if client has J disabled.

You need to re-validate on the server too. Spammers and hackers will collect your form info and post directly to your 'action' page and bypass your validation.

Ok Dave...
If you mean VB code side, I'm wondering why my predescesor didn;t do that to start with.
I will do that. BUt in the meantime, is there a way to do what my question is asking?

To add to what I said... I view client side validation as merely an aid to the client to get the form data correct and useful. I use the server side validation as filtering and protecting the application and database.

Hmm, I'm curious as to why the comment that said it couldn't be done was awarded 400 points, and the comment that actually answered your question only got 100?
