How can I check if the user has Javascript enabled in their browser?

You can use simple redirection to test for JavaScript:


JStest.htm:


<!-- use script to redirect to a page that uses script -->
<script>//etc.
  document.location="JS_page"
</script>

<!-- if JS redirect not work, HTML redirects to non-script page -->
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; URL=non-JS_page">
</head>
