Dear All,

I need to be able to detect, server side, if the client machine using my
ASP.NET web app supports Javascript. I know there are browser object
properties that tell me if the client browser *in principle* supports
javascript, but as far as I can tell they don't tell you if the user has
disabled scripting manually.

I have seen sites using PHP that can do this, but I can't see how to do
it in .NET. Any ideas?

All help much appreciated.
