Handling no script

[Guest]

Hi i have a No script tag with a http redirect, but my page will not validate to w3c

is there a way to check the clients javascript using server side?

or a better way to handle the no script?

The problem must be caused by something else. The noscript tag complies with the latest W3C specification.

</NOSCRIPT>

ok thats what i had but i get w3c error

document type does not allow element "META" here.

i have it ion my head tag?

I can see the dilemma. It is generally expected that <meta> will be within the head and <noscript> within the body. So where do you place the combination of <noscript> and >meta>?

I would place the tags where they produce the result I want, namely, in the head, where the script tag usually is, and accept the w3c error for what it is. Your requirement that the noscript tag do a redirect may actually be self-contradictory. At least, that is my opinion. The noscript tag is designed to provide alternative content -- for the current page, I would assume -- when the script tag is not executed.
