After applying client side validation on page, if browser JavaScript option has been disabled then all page validation/function are dead. So I need a JavaScript function, that automatically enables and disables JavaScript of any browser, it should run on my page and work on every browser.

There is no way you can get the browser settings be changed via scriping. But you can detect it. Please see : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/121203/how-to-detect-if-javascript-is-disabled – Roy M J Aug 26 '13 at 09:57

3Don't you think it could be a little security issue? – Andrea Casaccia Aug 26 '13 at 09:57

@Anubi: No i m looking for enabled js option by js function.if browser js option disabled,then it will enabled js option and set client side validation. – Abhishek Aug 26 '13 at 10:06

1Btw, that's one of the reasons why always need server side validation. Client side validation should only be used for improved UX, but it's not a security measure. – Felix Kling Aug 26 '13 at 10:09

@Abhishek I understand what you want to do. The security problem is that you cannot allow a web page to change user settings on a browser! – Andrea Casaccia Aug 26 '13 at 10:13

Your requirement is impossible to achieve. Among other considerations, how do you pretend to enable javascript in a browser where javascript is disabled using javascript?

What you should do is detect that javascript is disabled and degrade your application to do validation in server side instead of client side.

If i apply client side validation on my html page and if my mozilla browser js option disabled then, if i write some js function to enabled that checkbox,then is it possible or not? – Abhishek Aug 26 '13 at 11:13

No man, NO! It isn't possible! As I said, if js is disabled, you have to validate at SERVER SIDE. Forget about changing browser options, you can't! – Oscar Aug 26 '13 at 13:12
