You can also attempt some sort of user-agent detection.  I'm not sure if
Netscape says it will accept javascript even when it isn't enabled, but
you could at least be able to turn off javascript for people who are
using anything other than a `known' browser.  (of course, there are
those people who hack Lynx to tell the server that it's actually
Netscape or IE, but they're weird ;-)

There's a fair amount of information that gets passed back and forth
during a normal HTTP GET/POST operation..  The trick is just figuring
out how to read that information...
