301 Redirect And Bots a small doubt

[AlanDS 0]

Hi guys,

 

I am presently developing a website which depends on JavaScript for its design.

The problem is that some browsers do not JavaScript enabled.

 

So, in case Script cannot be run on the browser, I have given a 301 (Meta) Redirect to a page which will tell them to enable the script.

 

What about the Search engine bots?

 

Will they undergo the 301 Redirect?

Or can they see the actual page?

 

Please help.

I can't answer your robot question but I can tell you that most people who know what javascript is and how to turn it off won't turn it on just for your site. I recommend that you have a non-javascript version if you want to keep potential visitors.

Or rather rethink your design so that it still works if js is disabled.

to answer your question google will cache your redirect, from this post I saw on another site so, I would drop the redirect page altogether as well.But like tyssen said rethink it, I have found alternatives for javascript that can be done in css.But a small suggestion what javascripts do you plan on running?

If you can provide a link or description of the scripts you are using, we can suggest CSS alternatives.

And about the 301 redirect use .htaccess redirect.

what you have to do is create a .htaccess file, if doesn't already exist in your root directory and add this line:

Redirect permanent / http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

use this code for redirect :

<?phpheader('www.yoursite.com;;?>

but its not a javascript , its php code if you can use this
all browser and all people support this code
Have good time

I think most search engines will try to index your complete site (if you say so in robots.txt) and take both pages.
