Re: Javascript test in ColdFusion
This is something you must do on the client (browser) and is not information available on the server. So, putting it in Application.cfc isn't at straightforward as you think. If you google test javascript enabled you'll get a bunch of links on some client side code to run the test. BrowserHawk also has this capability, though I think it's overkill if this is the only thing you're trying to detect. -Cameron On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 12:59 PM, Robert Rhodes rrhode...@gmail.com wrote: Hello again.

Re: Javascript test in ColdFusion
if i had to do something like this, i would: 1) build a site that works without js (i.e. all links take user to a new page that shows requested data) 2) enhance the site with ajax (i.e. override default link actions and load data via ajax without redirects) there's no one-liner you can put into your Application.cfc/cfm that will tell you if your user has js enabled or not.

A dead simple way of testing for JavaScript: script window.location.href = 'javascriptCapable.cfm'; /script meta http-equiv=refresh content=1; url=nonJavascriptCapable.cfm If a browser understands JS they get one page, if they don't they get another.
