Yes. Try executing some JS in your web page. If it runs, JS is
enabled. If it doesn't, it isn't.

Here's one way. Watch for word-wrap.

<html>
<head>
<title>jsenabled.htm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function js() {
document.getElementById("JS").innerHTML = "JavaScript is enabled!"
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="js()">
<span id="JS">JavaScript is not enabled!</span>
</body>
</html>

I doubt that it's cross-browser compatible -- we'll probably hear from
others!

= "Javascript is enabled, your browser supports getElementById and it
supports innerHTML. Doesn't mean a lot though."

You should first ask yourself how the information might be used; or, if
you know, explain your intent.

ISTM perfectly possible (untested) to do something like

<script type="text/VBScript"> dim JSisON : JSisON=false </script>

<script type="text/javascript"> JSisON=true </script>

<script type="text/VBScript">
document.write " JS is ON is ", JSisON </script>

but rather unusual.

Otherwise, what you ask is not entirely unlike asking what the result of
your own last round of Russian Roulette was.

One possibility is to put on the first page, presumably at the top,

<script type="text/javascript"> location.href = "XX.htm" </script>

Page XX.htm will be reached when javascript is enabled; otherwise, the
first page remains scriptlessly active.
