How can I tell whether a browser has javascript enabled?

I want to pop a "help" window in a "new" location so the user
is aware that there are now 2 windows -- the help window
and the "main" window that the help refers to.

How can I tell whether a browser has javascript enabled?

If javascript is disabled, but the script exists in the page:

<script language="javascript">

</script>

The  hide the script from browsers that don't have javascript or don't have it enabled.

If javascript is not enabled or is not supported by the browser, anything between the
<noscript> </noscript>
tags will be processed.
