How to detect if JavaScript is disabled?
In my php application i need to check whether the javascript is turn on or not in browser. I have tried this <noscript><p>javascript is off<p></noscript> it's working fine.But i need to redirect to a page if javascript is OFF so developed like this
<noscript>
<?php header('Location: index.php');?>
</noscript>
But i/ts always redirecting to index.php, there is any way to do this.
your solution clearly cannot work, since php is executed before the page is served on client
you could instead do something like
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='http://example.com/'">
</noscript>
in the head of your document
<noscript><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=error.html"></noscript>
try this to redirect if JS is disabled Php script runs independently of js
There are known issues with noscript
Instead do this:
<html>
<head>
<script>
window.location.href="javascriptEnabled.html";
/*Since javascript is enabled redirect to javascript based page*/
</script>
</head>
<body>
Showing Static Website since javascript is not enabled..
</body>
</html>
There is not a good way to do it, because without client side interactivity, you can not get information back from the client.
You could do something like this...
Therefore, if javasccript is enabled, you get to the javascript page, otherwise the non javascript page
It does redirect to index.php because the <?php header('Location: index.php');?> is processed by the server while the <noscript> is processed by the client ..
A correct way to do this is to set a cookie using javascript on the client, then check for the cookie's presence with php on the server, If the cookie does exist, then javascript is on, Else, it's off.
You could use a different approach here
Remember it's better to not have separate versions of the site. You could progressive enhancement with libraries as http://modernizr.com/ or https://github.com/filamentgroup/enhance
