Hi all,

How can I detect that javaScript is enabled or disabled in browser at Server side ?
I searched in google and found the code below.

C#

HttpBrowserCapabilities httpBrowser = Request.Browser;

bool enableJavascript = httpBrowser.JavaScript; // return true if Javascript enabled in client Browser

But this code is not working.
httpBrowser.JavaScript always returns true.

Please help.
Thanks...

httpBrowser.JavaScript tells you if the browser supports javascript, not if it's enabled. The only way to tell if javascript is enabled is to write some javascript and check if the browser cares.

This variale merely detects if a browser is capable of running javascript and not if it is turned off or on.

Heres my solution to the problem :

Here is a fixed demo project that resolves issues other users experienced:

Should you have any questions please let me know.

Also a quick FYI : This solution works on all browsers.
