Hi.. How can we check whether javascript is enabled or decabled with the help of any server script or any other way.. ? (except changing IE/Firefox 's settings from internet option) Thanks in advance...!Regards,Vijay

PHP cannot detect the presence of Javascript. You would need to use AJAX or something like that to send a request to the server, if the request comes in then Javascript works!

Didn't you (justsomeguy) have an example of something like this on one of these posts a week or two ago. Adapted from that, the javascript tester could look something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">var test = new Image();test.src = "jsEnabled.php";</script>

If jsEnabled.php is requested, then javascript is enabled.

That won't work if you have javaScript disabled with such a thing as NoScript for Firefox (Which would also make sure that AJAX wouldn't run.)

Yes iyeru, that's exactly the point. If it doesn't run, then you know that Javascript is disabled or not supported. If it runs, then you know that it is.
