Introduction: Yeah, as some of you probably know, i love
javascript a lot, but these days i have repented sha.

Task: I want to rebuild my website (this is true sha), but
i want to have two versions - one version supports javascript
and the other version uses no javascript.

Layout: I have an index.php which is the first page to load.


Now i want the index.php to load index_html.php if the client
does not support javascript, or to use index_js.php if the client
supports javascript.

Note: there are many ways of doing this, lets see how you will solve
it easily.

I don't think there is a way to detect javascript via php. You could detect user agents though, which in itself can get tricky.

Why not just employ progressive enhancement/graceful degradation in your coding? Give the user top of the line but provide appropriate fall back for those who don't support javascript?

Graceful degradation is still the way. However, what i was implying was that
how will you go about "detecting" that the browser does not support javascript
and go ahead to redirect or set up a session or whatever that javascript: off
so that the rest of your pages will be aware that the komputa no support
javascript?

I remember that i have made a post and given some codes about this several
years ago on this board (at least 4-5 years back) - based on a project then. . .

Well, try out this php script http://.net/demos/jsdetect/

You can turn on javascript and test it, and turn it off also. It can be used to solve this task.

How do i lower the bars?

<noscript></noscript>

The example is i posted is more like it. Source code: http://.net/demos/jsdetect/jsdetect.txt

nice trick, but is there any disadvantage of using the <noscript> tag or to redirect users to the js enabled page from a non js version if script is detected?

There is really no impossible there, however, using noscript will be slower in this case.

You can say:

<noscript>
<img src="phpsess.php">
/*this can set up a session if jscript is enabled or not*/
but that method i used is shorter and much more efficient than this
</noscript>
