How would LWP know to redirect without executing the javascript?

Speaking of CSS, my personal website ain't too shabby either ;)

    Anyone who uses javascript to redirect instead of the META refresh tag should be shot.

      While true, that doesn't stop people from doing it. Heres perhaps a better example:

      <html>
<head>
<script>
if (document.all) //IE4,5
    loc = 'index-ie4-5.html'
else if (document.layers) //NS4
    loc = 'index-ns4.html'
else if (document.getElementById) //new browser
    loc = 'index.html'
document.location.href = loc;
</script>
</head>
<body>

      How would an LWP script handle this?
