How to block printf

[johny1000]

Hello

I want to translate my site in to ways. Javascript if its available and php if not.
So i need to block php printf in this example <div>printf</div> when js is available. Becouse i dont need it in case when browser can use js. But i dont know how i can do it.

Thank you for your replies

That's not going to work, there is no way to know server side if JavaScript is available client side. Unless you always assume no JavaScript on the first landing and then use JavaScript to set a cookie that PHP looks for on subsequent requests. And I suppose that you could have a JavaScript reload after that cookie is set. Not very elegant and a wee bit slow. Better to make good use of the NOSCRIPT element and make sure that everything is there on the page somewhere.

Could you put the printf() output within HTML <noscript> tags?

In php <div><?php printf ?></div>???

<noscript><div><?php printf ?></div></noscript>

See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/...#edef-NOSCRIPT .

<noscript><div><?php printf("something"); ?></div></noscript>

Or if you want the <div> tags accessible via the JavaScript:

<div id='foo'><noscript><?php printf("something"); ?></noscript></div>

However, the NOSCRIPT element only directly contains block level elements. If you put the DIV outside the NOSCRIPT then you will need to printf some other block level tags.
