    53% is pretty acceptable, IMO. Commented Nov 26, 2009 at 14:25

If you could do what you asked, so could anybody else, and it could be used for all sorts of malicious purposes. Commented Dec 20, 2009 at 18:55

You can't do such a thing. It's impossible to modify user preferences stored on their local machines.

You can ask them to enable javascript if it's not the case using the noscript tag.

No, as neither the HTTP protocol or HTML have a feature to do this. To have a website able to enable JavaScript would also be a breach of security. There is also no guarentee that the users browser has JavaScript.

You may wish to look at the <noscript> tags, which allow you to display a message to the user when JavaScript is not active.
