You both miss the point. this is about what if the user enters in through a
bookmark. Then what do you do?
my first page does redirect the user to another page. but what if the user
bookmarded the main page?.

Have you ever checked to see how many people have bookmarked
your page?

Is that really the point? how many people booked marked any site with the
same situaltion? Am I the only person with delema?

If the user enters through a bookmark then the user has a browser that
can, and has, run JavaScript.
All you need is a notice after the body:
<body>
<noscript>
You need to turn on Javascript to see this page
</noscript>

Links to this page from search engines would be possible, but unlikely
since the search engines would have been redirected to the
non-javascript page (unless the spider uses Javascript, and if the
spider stayed on the site after the redirect).

Why penalize the site & the majority for the few w/ js turned off
IMHO - Add a noscript w/ a link to the non-js page version
<body>
<noscript>
<noscript><div align="center" style="border: 1px solid Red;">
<h3>You must have JavaScript Enabled to View and Navigate this Site - or see our: <a href="otherpage.htm">alternate non-script
page</a></h3>
</div></noscript>
- your normal js based page content here

HI! I was hoping for a more automated way of doing it. useing noscript with
the meta refresh works but it just does not validate.

Paul
 
the meta refresh is not a "javascript redirect".....??
why the <noscript> tags around the <meta http-equiv> tag?
 
I didn't say any of that.
Just to start with a valid page before worrying about the validity of the JS
redirect.
