I want to check if a mobile browser has javascript enabled before displaying a page to the user. The code I’ve found from my research is:

System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser;
Response.Write(browser.EcmaScriptVersion.ToString());

So to ensure that javascript is enabled on a browser, you need to check wheather the returned valued is either equal to or bigger than 1. This works on normal browsers, but when I test it on my phone the returned value is always 0.0, no matter if my javascript is enabled or disabled.

Is there a way to check if javascript is enabled on a mobile browser or will the browser handle the incapability on it’s own?
