RE: redirecting without JavaScript

I guess I didn't explain clearly enough. If the user has JavaScript
enabled and is using a version 4 or higher browser, I want them to go
to the main site. If they don't have a version 4 or higher browser, I
want them to go to a "sorry" page. That is happening now, but not if
they have disabled JavaScript.

I guess, if they have a version 4 or higher browser, but have
JavaScript turned off, I want them to see a "you need to enable
JavaScript" message -- on the index.html page or somewhere else -- it
really doesn't matter to me (I don't think). But I don't want this
message to display if they have JavaScript turned on.

Does this make more sense than my original question?
