Re: JavaScript Enabled Stats

2004-10-14 Thread Jason Lemahieu
This idea rules -thanks!I had never thought of this, but played with a bit and could find myself using it a decent amount.

You could use JS to load an image that's really a CFM page -- new
Image().src = "" . You would embed code to add the
record (set to notEnabled) in your page, and add code to the stats.cfm file
that would toggle it to enabled.

JavaScript Enabled Stats

2004-10-13 Thread Jason Lemahieu
I want to find out about how many of our users have _javascript_ enabled.I think it'll be like 99%, but would like to know if it is, in fact, something like 75%.

I can make a simple database that stores 2 values (Enabled, notEnabled) to update with each session, but I'm not sure how to exactly check.

The plan would be just a simple addition to a site's Application.cfm.I want to set a var on the page, JSEnabled = false;then use _javascript_ to set the var to true onLoad.(which will obviously only happen if they have JS enabled)

The problem then, is how do I get this information back, as the page is not just a form.They could click on any number of links which I don't want to change.Has anyone tried taking stats like this before?Otherwise, is it available in some other way?(For example, a cgi.client_javascript??)

We use a service call http://www.browserhawk.com/to do all of our
browser testing.We get back stats for all these vars.I wrote a CFC
that interfaces w/ their code.

It is handy because we know on the fly what version of Flash, JS,
connection speed, ... and other junk.

If all you need is the JS version, there is an easier way which I'm sure
you could google, but if you want more...
