Turn off Javascript in JavaScript or HTML

[FredMorstatter]

I have made a web site that works with both JScript on and off in every browser ...except Opera. I was wondering if there was some way to, upon detection of an Opera browser, turn off JScript on the page so that all the <noscript> HTML code will be run instead.

This is my first post on this site, and I hope I put this in the right place. Any help is greatly appreciated.

<noscript> is only available if the user has turned off javascript.

Opera does a good job with most script. It would be better to localise the problem functions-

For instance, if you want to manipulate the styleSheets array, which Opera does not yet support, test for document.styleSheets before you run that particular function.

Welcome to TheScripts. Yes, you've posted in the right forum.

As mrhoo mentioned, you can't turn off javascript on a user's browser. The user him/herself decides to turn off Javascript. When Javascript is off, the the code within the <noscript> tags is executed.

What exactly does not run? Perhaps you can post some code. I don't use Opera, but what I've heard about it, it seems to be pretty standard-compliant and so if you have coded correctly, it should work.
