Slightly related... I have been really enjoying writing code for node.js - I'm using it to render content for non-javascript capable clients and it's handing the load nicely. Being able to maintain one set of tests is a huge win over having a python and a JS implementation. Has anyone got a good way to redirect non-JS clients to a different set of URLs? At the moment I'm using a combination of user agent sniffing and js+meta page refresh, is there a better way?

A <noscript> tag that has a message "You're viewing our javascript-free site. Most features are here, but try upgrading", with a link?

  I just tested a meta refresh inside a noscript tag. It works (in FF, at least). I'm sure it would make some validator angry, but it would make automatic redirection easy for the js-disabled case.

    That's a great idea, thank you. It seems to work in safari too.
