Perhaps we can skip the interview and just help answer the OP's question.
Tedd, try something like this:
if (!window.location.indexOf('js=1')) window.location = '?js=1';
You'll want to clean it up a bit because the above will remove any
query string variables (could be bad). Another option:
(new Image()).src = 'setsessionvar.php?js=1';
You can also use XMLHttpRequest, but then what you're really detecting
is if XHR is available, which is not the same as whether JavaScript is
available.
