I want to run an ASP file in the <SCRIPT> block if the browser has scripting enabled. If scripting is disabled, I want to show an HTML page indicating that. I've tried a number of different things and it just won't work. Basically, what I need is to conditionally show page 1 or page 2 depending on whether scripting is enabled. Anyhow suggestions would be appreciated.

Conditional HTML Pages

Do a Javascript redirect using the OnLoad event. If scripting is enabled it will fire and you can send them to the page that you want them to see. Also create a META REFRESH that redirects to the html page that has the "You don't have scripting turned on" notice. Set the refresh interval at 1 second (you'll probably have to play with this). If the javascript fires they go to one place if not, the META REFRESH sends them to another.
How about <noscript></noscript> HTML tags?
You can create an alternate text with a link to the alternate pages.. there is, as far as I know, no way to automatically redirect using a scripting language, because, well.. uh, if the noscript comes up they have scripting turned off. There may be a way to do it with ASP, that would be something to ask in the ASP forum. I don't know if the HTML refresh tag would work there or not, I suspect not, butit is worth a try.
When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

You can redirect with something like this:
<html><head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function GoAway(){
window.location = "}
</script>
</head>
<body OnLoad="GoAway();">
</body>
</html>
If it doesn't fire then the META would take care of it:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1;url=http://www.microsoft.com">
<html><head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function GoAway(){
window.location = "}
</script>
</head>
<body OnLoad="GoAway();">
</body>
</html>
If it doesn't fire then the META would take care of it:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1;url=http://www.microsoft.com">

Ermmm... ASP runs on the server, it doesn't matter what the browser has enabled.
