Check if javascript works

[faust]

My problem: I have 2 forms that use ajax - login and register. Everything works, if the user makes an error - an error popup shows. So my question is: is there a way to determine if the ajax request succeeded or something broke or maybe the user disabled his browsers js? If something like that occurs to submit the form the traditional way without ajax requests? Is there a way to check this?

You could use HTML <noscript> Tag to notify user to enable JavaScript. If JavaScript is not supported, only option (I think) would be to redirect user to page without JavaScript
like:

Code: Select all

<noscript>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.some.org/form_without_JS.html">
</noscript>

As for AJAX (with jQuery). To check what happened with connection, you could use complete(), error() or success() functions.
jQuery.ajax()
In case it fails, you could submit form with JavaScript.
