How to tell if javascript is enabled?

Robp.

I am not sure what you mean? If you want to know how many people that are visiting your site have java enabled then I would suggest you get an extreme tracker. This tells you the specifications of all your visitors included weither they have java enabled or not.

I need to find out if the user specifically has javascript enabled. Somthing like a $variable eq 1 if the user has javascript enabled, and 0 if not. Is this possible?

robp,

If the user has javascript disabled how can you check a variable?

The best you can do is setup a <noscript> tag in html and put some link or message in there, only users with scripting disabled will see that message

Peter, thanks a lot.

Peters answer is fine....
Another is to add...
<SCRIPT language="javascript>
//<!--
If you can read this you either have javascripting turned off in your browser or you have an archaic version and need to get with the program....
//-->
</SCRIPT>

As a policy its always good to put html comment tags around all scripting to avoid non javascript enabled browsers to see your scripting.

Also...there are several versions of javascript, I think, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3
You can test which version by...
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
var ja="0";
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language="javascript1.1">
//<!--
ja=11;
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language="javascript1.2">
//<!--
ja=12;
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=javascript1.3">
//<!--
ja=13;
//-->
</SCRIPT>
