RE: Server detection of Javascript enabled?
You dont have to go thru all that. There's a tag as well.

No. HTTP headers contain information about the request to the server. Unfortunately none of those headers have information about JavaScript. The only way that I could see you being able to do this is to send a simple page with JavaScript to the client and have the JavaScript forward to a separate page on your server.

RE: Server detection of Javascript enabled?
I think the main problem might be one of design. Why do you need to know if a client has JavaScript enabled or not? I'm not sure of your particular requirements, but relying on some sort of application functionality that is dependent on a client side feature like JavaScript, smells of flawed design.

RE: Server detection of Javascript enabled?
There is a getJavaScriptEnabled method in that component that will tell you if javascript is enabled or not. It definetely does have to send some javascript to the browser in order to perform some tests and detect if it is enabled. But the bottom line is it tells you if javascript is enabled or not. -Original Message- From: Michael Hanisch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 8:44 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Server detection of Javascript enabled?

RE: Server detection of Javascript enabled?
It doesnt really get round the problem of not using javascript on teh client; but perhaps a better way to do this is to interrogate the DOM. If you use one of teh standards objects like document.image it returns a boolean showing whther or not javascript is installed. In addition you could explicitly test for the existence of an object from a specific version, so you could tell which version of js was being used. but as i say, both of these involve using js on the client. -Original Message- From: James Childers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 13 February 2003 21:38 To: Struts Users Mailing List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Server detection of Javascript enabled?

These people http://www.browserhawk.com/ have some products that will do what you want. I'm not sure if you're willing to fork out the $$$, but I thought I'd run it by you anyways. If you don't want to spend the dough, I think the suggestion James Childers gave you might be an approach to take. Good luck. -Original Message- From: Jerome Jacobsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 4:34 PM To: Struts User Subject: Server detection of Javascript enabled?
