is there way to reload a web-page, when javascript is disabled in the brwoser?
I mean, if the user visits the page first time, and has no javascript enabled, the page reloads with a get parameter like page.php?js=false.
Maybe, thanks for hints.

The only way you could force a page reload, without javascript, is by use of a meta refresh tag. However, this is the wrong way to go: better display that page for the javascript-deprived, and redirect those who DO have javascript to a more appropriate page instead.

I was thinking the same thing, basically the OP just needs to do the opposite of what hes thinking.

You run into race conditions - the meta redirect could fire before external javascript finishes loading, and get a false redirect because the not-yet-loaded javascript failed to kill the redirect.

ok, thats a point. and google does not like the meta-refresh tag?

Don't know, offhand. I leave the SEO worries to others. There's plenty of legitimate reasons for meta refresh, though, so I can't see Google penalizing its use.

How can you kill the redirect with javascript?

<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=page.php?js=false" />
</noscript>
You can use <noscript> tag with refresh <meta> tag.
Adding to Sarfraz's post, you could do this, to match your request:
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=page.php?js=false">
</noscript>

You can do it the other way around:
Assume javascript is not available, and
redirect using javascript to page.php?js=true.
