sending hidden field if JS is disabled

[Eric.Coleman]

Alright,

If the client has javascript disabled, I want to print out a hidden form field to the form, that says it is..

Something like


<If JS is Disabled>
print <input type=hidden name=NO_JS value=true>
</If>

Anyway to do this?

[randem]

do the opposite...

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<input type="hidden" name="JSenabled" value="true">');
</script>

Or....

<noscript>
  <input type=hidden name=NO_JS value=true>
</noscript>

Wayne,

That still shows the input field in the source, so when I submit the form, won't it still be there?

This way it should work with older browser as well

<form name="JavaScriptForm">
<input type="hidden" name="JSenabled" value="False">
</form>

<script language="javascript">
document.JavaScriptForm.JSenabled.value="true";
</script>

A browser with javascript enabled ignores all tags within <noscript></noscript> so while it is in the source it would be the same as if you surrounded it in quote tags and is ignored.

But not all browsers support the noscript tag. My method would give you the right answer either way.

Thanks everyone for your responses,

I didn't know that <noscript> wasn't supported by all browsers..

ThomasAesir, I'll try your method, thank you.
