The navigator object has a javaEnabled function that indicates if the browser has javascript support.
This seems to be a little odd:
- If JS is indeed enabled the function
will return true, well obviously.
- If JS is disabled it will return
<nothing> since it is never run,
javaScript is disabled.
I must be missing something here, or is it really that useless this function?
java!= javaScript
navigator.javaEnabled checks for the presence of Java, not JavaScript.
Reference
This must be a relic from the olden days when Java applets were going to be the future of the web...
You missed the fact that it's javaEnabled not javascriptEnabled.
navigator.javaEnabled: Indicates whether the host browser is Java-enabled or not.
