Detect the browser being used? Why? You can disable javascript in any browser - and some people do.

Use something like:
<script type="text/javascript">
//script goes here
</script>
<noscript>Something for Javascript disabled browsers</noscript>

The <noscript> content only renders if Javascript is not available

I use two valid email addresses with all my web addresses redirected
to both. Both the email hosts and my email client have excellent junk
filtering. The end result is that my valid messages arrive in pairs.
Anything else is junk!

I use Javascript to display the email address and just a picture (no
link from the picture) if Javascript is disabled. It's not perfect
but is good enough for me, an amateur web writer.
