Can't is such a strong word.
It really just depends on where you want to detect it. If you want your
servlet to know whether or not JavaScript is enabled, one possible solution
is as follows:
<html>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function checkForJS () {
document.myForm.jssupport.value = "true";
}
// -->
</script>
<body onLoad = "checkForJS ()">
...html...html...
<form name = "myForm" action = "/servlet/myServlet" method = "post">
<input type = "hidden" name = "jssupport" value = "false">
...
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now, if the value of jssupport is "true" when your servlet is called, then
the browser must have been able to execute JavaScript providing you didn't
set jssupport to "true" or "false" anywhere else in your page and that the
user didn't force it.
