Is there a way to check if javascript is activated or not?

<noscript> tag if javascript is not enabled you can let the user know that they need to enable it by placing content in noscript tags - this only displays if, well ya know - there is no script [capability]

Okey. I was more thinking of, doing it with php something lik if javascript is activated do action, else do another action.

you could do a redirect at the home page

window.location = "default.php?js=true"

<noscript><a href="default.php">Enter Website</a>

if you receive the variable then you know javascript is enabled.

I'd be interested to know why you want to know if JS is enabled. The majority of times you shouldn't know/care if the user does or not, by ensuring all your JS degrades gracefully. It's more a case of coding while making sure everything still works should JS not be available rather than actually knowing for sure. In answer to your question though, as far as I'm aware testing for JS availability is done purely on the client-side, not the server.

I know you're just trying to answer his question, but that's a horrible idea

Because?

It is possible to do server side detection of javascript through a third party component.

injection?

I want it for example if javascript is not activated, the function wich was supoced to be there, will be replaced by something else wich does not require Javasxript.

Thanks paulanthony I'll check out that site.

You should do it the other way round, modify the page with the javascript.
