Redirecting if JavaScript is turned off

I have a modest website that uses a lot of Javascript.

If anybody views the site and does not have Javascript enabled I want to
politely redirect them to another page, so I put this bit of code in my
<head> section :

<script type="text/javascript"
language="JavaS cript">document .write("<!"+"--")</script>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=noscript.ht ml">
<!--//-->

So far so good.
It appears to work, *and* it passes the the 'W3C MarkUp Validation Service'
test ( http://validator.w3.org/ ).

Now the bad news: Google doesn't index my site any more, presumably because
their crawler always gets redirected.

Does anybody have a solution to this dilema, please?
Redirecting to a 'with-script' page is not an option because my page is
linked-to by many other sites.

Try doing it the other way around:

Start with the no javascript file and clientside-js-redirect
to the yes javascript page.

This can best be done serverside:

if the IP is in the google range, redirect

And when google find out that you are cloaking the site will be banned.

Perhaps down under?

The above site wasn't googled anyway, so if the OP wants it, he has to
invent something to keep google on the page that the majority of the
visitors see.

Says the same thing. Only difference I saw in the two pages, at a quick
glance, was the .au in the address. The section the OP referred to was
verbatim.

FAQ remains that all Google© pages are displayed upside down over there.

Or so I have heared.

I am trying to make an Australian version of my page. Upside down is no
problem, but trying to implement backwards execution of scripts I have
some assumably small problems. Although 'goto' does not exist in
Javascript I feel the need to implement 'comefrom'.Do I need
write-only-memory (wom)? Any ideas?
