Unfortunately, you can't do this unless trying a second request. There's no way to know this before actually interacting with the browser itself.

The closest I can think of is trying to set a cookie and store this information for future visits.

Hope it helps.

The right approach is to degrade gracefully, but that is not always possible especially with web app. Use a <noscript> tag to tell the user to re-enable javascript.

If you need a solution through django, set a cookie using JS and try to read it in the second request. If you dont see the cookie then JS is not enabled. However, as a first request it can't be detected.
