Code that checks if JavaScript is enabled or disabled

A

alec

Could a piece of code be placed in the index page of web site that checks if
JavaScript is enabled / disabled; if disabled I would like a window.alert()
to appear telling visitor that your browser JavaScript setting is disabled
and you should do following... to enable it.
Thank you for your advice and help.

In html view, insert something like this in between your <head> tags:

<noscript>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif" size="2"><font
color="#FF0000"><b>
JavaScript Disabled</b><br>
JavaScript required to send us email. If you have disabled JavaScript<br>
in your browser, you must reenable JavaScript and refresh this
page.</font></p>
</noscript>

"If javascript is disabled, a javascript alert doesn't work"

Huh?

| Good response. If javascript is disabled, a javascript alert doesn't work.

I know what you mean, Tom. But upon a second reading of MikeR (1st)'s
response, I think he may not have been being sarcastic at all, and meant it
as a true compliment. Ambiguity does indeed have a certain quality to it!

Oh, I didn't take it as sarcasm. I took it as a compliment, Kev. But I
simply didn't understand his answer. I took it to say if you had javascript
disabled, you couldn't my suggestion wouldn't work. Which, in fact it does,
since it's not JavaScript.

MikeR (1st) confused me.

As did Murray.
