Hi,
I want to add a couple of pop-up boxes in my page, and I want to know :
1) is there a small piece of code that I must paste in my page which will check to see if the client has JS enabled?
2) do I use the <noscript> tag to enter the page that the user with no JS enabled will see?
3) if a user has JS enabled, do I need to check also if there are pop-up blockers, or it will be ok and my pop-up will open with no problem?

What I want basically is:
I have a link in the page ,which, if JS is enabled will open in a pop-up window when the user clicks on it, whereas, if JS is disabled, it will open in a new page, like plain, ordinary links

Thanks in advance

I don't ask, I just let the browser decide, based on the noscript tags. Pop-up blockers shouldn't prevent window opening operations from the parent. This statement, "open in a new page, like plain, ordinary links" isn't universally true.

You can open a page in a new window without using JavaScript, mind. Just set the anchor tag's "target" attribute to "_blank", e.g

Keep in mind that target="_blank" is not standards compliant for strict html 4.01 or xhtml 1.0

Just use transitional doctype if you do that.

Why write code to check if JS is enabled? Write code to enable JS.
