Javascript Disabled in CF?

How and where in CF can you test to see if a Web Browser has JavaScript disabled (or does it take JS to do that)?

Can it be detected server side?

Thanks,

    The easiest JavaScript solution is to use the following code to display a message on the first (login?) page or the page that needs JavaScript.

    You can't STRICTLY do this with CF alone as CF is a server-side application.

    I would recommend setting a cookie with JavaScript into a users session, THEN use CF to try and read the cookie from the users session. If the cookie doesn't exist, it clearly means that JavaScript wasn't able to set a cookie, possibly meaning JS is disabled.

    So, with this, you can do some conditional logic using CFIF and the like.

    Good luck.
