Hello,

I am developing an application in asp.net and have just discovered that some
users might have locked down machines that have cookies and client side
javascript disabled.

I was aware of the cookie issue so all state between pages is maintained in
other ways (querystring and serialization), however I wasnt aware of the
javascript issue.

In every page there is some sort of postback going on - I believe that the whole
postback system is achieved through asp.net creating client side javascript
(__doPostback)???? I had never tried it with Javascript disabled before.

I always thought that asp.net was clever enough to work out your browser
capabilities and use what it can. However, I have just tried the application
with Javascript disabled on my browser, and none of the basic navigation will
work. When I hover over a linkbutton I see "javascript:__doPostback(clientid)"
in the message bar at the bottom of IE, but clicking on it tries to run that
javascript and of course it fails.

Is there something I can do to fix this really quickly???

Thanks in Appreciation
