Hi Gang,

If you incorporate Ajax into your web app, what is the best way to handle
browsers that do not support Ajax or have Java disabled?

Thanks.

I usually use <root>default.aspx for this sort of initial checking - not
just for JavaScript being disabled, but also for old versions of browsers,
low screen resolution etc...

As regards JavaScript specifically, I just use the <noscript> tag to display
a message saying that the site requires JavaScript...
