PHP to check wether javascript is enabled or not and perform action

[louis_coetzee]

How can I check if javascript is enabled, if not redirect to errorjs.php else stay put. I have seen websites that detect this and redirect to error page. I am using ajax, so I do need javascript. Any help and advice will be appreciated.

I've done a quick search as I've never done this before myself. From what I can tell, you can find out if the browser being used supports javascript but not if javascript is enabled. But you could use <noscript> and a client side redirect?

What type of client-side redirect? The one I would have used was Javascript, but since it's disabled it could cause a problem. Any ideas? ???

I just got this as a rough example

 

<noscript>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; URL=your_php_error_page.php">

</noscript>

 

It's set to redirect after 2 seconds, you might want to put a message in the noscript tags telling your user their getting redirected and why
