Javascript Browser - if enabled, stay...if not, redirect
Hi All

I've seen lots of javascript redirect scripts. All the ones that I've seen first check for javascript and then redirect you to the right page.

What I want to do is first detect javascript and then STAY on that page if javascript is enabled, but get redirected only if it is not enabled.

I don't want to redirect away from the home page if they have javascript enabled.

I have other javascripts that I would want to utilize on the home page for such things as style sheets, etc.

Would anyone know of any script like this?

Many thanks. Smile

Try putting this in the <head> section of the page (it should redirect after 1 second if the user doesn't have javascript enabled, otherwise it should remain on the page):
Code:
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://www.example.com">
</noscript>

That IS dependent on whether Javascript is enabled. If javascript is disabled, the browser reads the meta redirect tag between the <noscript> tags. If javascript is enabled, it doesn't, and you stay on the same page. That's what he asked for, I thought. Am I missing something??

Thanks, both.

Yes, I think that the noscript piece is what I'm looking for. Thanks, hennagaijin Smile
