However, considering the old submit button layout works fine for almost all orders, and there are still ~5-10% of netizens who either stubbornly turn off javascript ;) or use stupendously old browsers, I figured I may as well keep the old ordering templates around for them...
What I need now is a quick javascript detection script to stick in the <head>s of the new pages, which will send non-js capable users to the old pages, while allowing the other 90+% of us to proceeed seamlessly to the new ones.
A javascript javascript sniffer, if you will. The smaller the sniffer the better, of course....
How about a redirect in the noscripts section of the new pages?
Err... Come to think of it, I guess a javascript redirect script in the <head> of the page wouldn't exactly tell a non-js browser to leave, would it? :o

Simpler, yes, but what's the status of a js redirect re spiders? Since we're talking approx. 5% of the traffic, I was thinking it would be more conservative from an SEO perspective to keep the new pages as primary with the old as secondary using a manual "Our js-free cart is here [click]" in <noscript>. Basically, I guess I just don't like redirecting 95% of the traffic and keeping 5% on the straight path.
The main hassles with the custom submit buttons are:
All in all, I'm looking for the most hassle-free configuration for the shopping cart I can find, and avoiding javascript entirely sounds like it's definitely the easy way out (now that I've got the original glitch solved).
