@thisObjectauthorNov 16.2005 — cool, thanks,

Here is what I found:
<i>
</i>&lt;noscript&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; URL=../../dummy.html"&gt;
&lt;/noscript&gt;

This would redirect to another page BUT initial page still visible for a second or two until redirect is done.

Is there away to completely restrict a user to see the page he/she is not supposed to see if JS is disabled?

You could change the 2 to a 0.

You should provide a clickable link as well, since there might be some browsers that don't have meta refreshes enabled.

@thisObjectauthorNov 16.2005 — thanks, so if there is a browser that does not have meta refreshes enabled than the user will see JS-enabled page?

I do not want the user to see JS-enabled page at all. Is there a good solution for this?

thanks

<a href="disabled.htm" onclick="self.location='enabled.htm';return false'">next page</a>
