Hi Dale, hopefully I've understood your question, so... Witango is a server-side language, meaning it only executes on the server.
HTML and JavaScript are client-side languages, meaning at the server level (when Witango is executing) your HTML and JavaScript is meaningless text (ignored by Witango) and is not executed by the browser until "after" your Witango code has finished executing and sent the results to the browser (client), then your HTML and JavaScript will be executed. You're putting the cart (JavaScript) before the horse (Witango). Hope this helps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scott Cadillac Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: 401-429-6949 Cell: 902-957-2449 XML-Extranet http://www.xmlx.net/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > -----Original Message----- > From: Dale Graham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 10:13 AM > To: Witango-Talk list > Subject: Witango-Talk: Javascript problem - detecting browsers with JS > turned off > > I decided it was best to use something like object detection because > JS can be disabled even in JS-capable browsers and I was having > display issues if JS was turned off... so I wanted to set something > up to work either way. > > BUT I am running into really huge issues implementing this, because > things seem to be working "not as advertised" in both Firefox and in > Safari (I haven't even begun to attempt IE!) > > There are two different problems here. > > 1] This does a test for javascript (inside a script tag), and if it > works, writes out a variable > > <pre> > > <script language="javascript"> > if document.write { > document.write("<@assign name=request$donext > value=firstreview>"); > } > </script> > > </pre> > > However if javascript is turned OFF in either Firefox or Safari, it > still creates (writes out) the variable!!
