It sounds like you want your site to behave differently if the user has JavaScript enabled. If you're really going for unobtrusive JavaScript then your server side Mason code doesn't need to get involved in the JavaScript enabled/disabled decision at all. Since unobtrusive JavaScript is only supposed to enhance the functionality of the site and not implement critical path functionality its availability should only come into play on the client side and not in the Server side Mason code. People with JavaScript enabled can be served the same page as people with out it. If the user has JavaScript it will run and add the enhanced bits, if not it won't. The only reason the server should care if the user has JavaScript enabled is if you want to build your pages differently. If this is the case then you need to store information in each users session from your comment above it sounds like you may already have some session handling system. If not then you need to implement one before you can use it to help you keep track of which users have JavaScript. -- Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
