I want to show a php page with heavy php code. After all php processing is done, it then: 1. Uses <noscript> in the <head> to check if js on or not - if so, no problem 2. If not, will show this on screen: Javascript not on Turn on then click here / or, click to view basic version of our site (js not needed) What I need to do is, if js is not on, then prevent the page from viewing, including all my echo php commands that are in the body tag below. Originally I had an idea to automatically redirect to a nojavascript.html page - but cant as I have no js to do a location.href. I need (1) a way to redirect without js OR (2) A way to prevent showing page if js is not on Oh, I don't use loads of unnecessary js, but I use DHTML/AJAX a lot so would look strange and not have any useability.
My idea is, put files in separated directories (althought it seems "redundant" somewhat). For example, create "/with-js" dir, with all files that are supposed to be viewed with js. And create "/without-js" dir Now, lets move to the upper dir, lets create a welcome page (splash screen, you can name it ), for example an "index.php" So here's the scenario. Visitors go to "something.com/index.php" and see the welcome page. If the JS is on, s/he must visit the "something.com/with-js". If it is off, s/he must visit the "something.com/without-js". Ok now the question is how to redirect visitors, based on the JS setting. Lets go to index.php <script> function lets_check() { document.getElementById('clicked').href = './with-js'; } </script> <body onload="lets_check()"> <h1>Welcome Here</h1> <a href="./without-js" id="clicker">Click here to continue</a> </body> HTML:
Thanks for the idea, but I have just thought of an even better way. I have tested and works brilliantly. <noscript> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.turn-it-on-for-gods-sake.com" /> </noscript>
