[Cialug] ajax testing for javascript

[Scott Yates]

This seems to be a good test as well if you are able to use a form:

This will change the value of js_enabled to 1 before submitting the form.

<form onsubmit="this.js_enabled.value=1;return true;">
    <input type="hidden" name="js_enabled" value="0">
    <input type="submit" value="go"></form>
