This has not much to do with Seaside. With Seaside you can access all
the information available trough request headers, etc.
To detect if JavaScript is enabled you need a trick (ask Google, I am
sure there are a lot of possible solutions). Something like
redirecting to a different page using JavaScript could help you gather
this information.
What I rather suggest is to write code that gracefully degrades if no
JavaScript is available. It is very strait forward to do this with
Scriptaculous:
html span
id: 'counter';
with: count.
html space.
html anchor
onClick: (html updater
id: 'counter;
callback: [ :render | self decrease. r render: count ];
return: false);
callback: [ self decrease ];
with: '--'.
html space.
html anchor
onClick: (html updater
id: 'counter;
callback: [ :r | self increase. r render: count ];
return: false);
callback: [ self increase ];
with: '++'
Note: the 'return: false' is important to make sure that the event
handling is stopped to avoid a full page reload.
Cheers,
Lukas
