Probably a stupid question but...

[JackN]

In a web page, I want to use an Image with URL mapping to replace a snazzy JavaScript Menu, if JavaScript is turned off in the browser.

If JavaScript is turned off, then the test for navigator.javaEnabled() should return a boolean "False".

How the hell can I test that if JavaScript is turned off!?! The Script wouldn't even run then...

:confused:

Anybody have a solution for my problem, or a link to point me too?

By the way, the server that this page will be on has PHP capability, so if there is a PHP way to test for JavaScript in the browser, before compiling to the page with its choice of image or menu script, I'm all ears!

;)

I don't know PHP well enough yet...

:D

[JackN]

Or even a way to hide the image map behind the script in a HTML/CSS layer?

Whatever works! Help!

I don't know php at all, but I would be very surprised if you couldn't get the browser properties in it and check for java support.

I would think the best way is probably a redirect to an index.php that takes an argument depending on if javascript is enabled or not. Then use a different redirect in the noscript tag to outside it. But I'm not an expert web designer so don't quote me on that. :)

[JackN]

Ah yes... The < NOSCRIPT > tag...

That might actually get me somewhere!

Thanks man!

;)

[Biggles]

I'd never heard of it before, myself. :)

[JackN]

This seems to be what I need, and will be a lot less work than using PHP to test for it...

The NOSCRIPT Tag (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_noscript.asp)

;)

[JackN]

Yay! It works! Woo Hoo!

:D

[C_Mon]

YAY!!:D
Now we can all be happy!

[Biggles]

Always happy!

[C_Mon]

Right! :rolleyes:

[RubberEagle]

cool.... I would have put a javascript redirect to another page on the index page, but since someone actually thought of creating a <NOSCRIPT>-tag... :)
