Detect JavaScript Enabled and cokies on SERVER SIDE

[oreng]

Hey all,

I have some problems detecting whether the client's browser javascript
is enabled at the server side.
While Request.Browser.JavaScript only check if the browser enable java
script (and so on with Request.Browser.Cookies).

I saw some server controls that register a startup script on the
page_load
and then perform a postback and run the javascript,changing a hidden
html input button and check if his value changed.

Does anyone have any idea how 2 do this thing without postback and on
the server side ?

10x alot !!
