You can't really, but you CAN provide both solutions within one script using <NOSCRIPT>. I'm a little rusty on my JS (I barely ever use it on sites), but theorectically, you want the <SCRIPT> tag to write the link out for you if possible, otherwise you want the <NOSCRIPT> tag to do so. From what I can tell, you wanted to use a text link instead of a HTML button to submit a form. <form> First Name: <input type="text" name="firstname" value=""> Surname: <input type="text" name="surname" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="userHasJS" value=1> <script language="text/javascript"> document.writeln("<a href='javascript:submitMyForm()'>submit</a>"); </script> <noscript> <input type="hidden" name="userHasJS" value=0> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> </noscript> </form> I've also included a hidden value of userHasJS, which starts as true, and gets overwritten by false IF the NOSCRIPT tag is in use. This means you could (on the next page) assign to a session variable, and be able to test if the user has JS available on any page, by checking the session var. Sure, it's a few extra lines of code, but the results will be the best you could hope for, to the best of my knowledge. I used to use something similar with pop-ups... If the user had JS, I'd do a pop-up, otherwise I'd just use <a ... target="_blank">. Justin French
