Hi,

Is there any way of detecting in a script whether a user's IE settings will
allow them to run client side VBScript ?

I want to be able to either run the VBScript, or display a sensible screen
informing the user that the setting should be altered to allow this
functionality.

Is there any Javascript to get at these settings ?

Many Thanks,
Larry.

With IE, script is script. If script is enabled then
both javascript and VBScript will work. If script is
disabled then they won't.

Place a div with the "Enable script" message on the page and have an onload
handler hide it (and perhaps unhide the main content). Users with script
enabled will not see it: all others will (assuming capable browser etc etc).
