I've got a site that has one javascript running, and I want it to check to see if the user has it enabled. If not, I will re-direct them to another page. Does anyone know the html coding for that?

How to check for javascript enabled?

actually it will be much simpler to do it the other way around! IF javascript IS enabled you can redirect using a javascript otherwise nothing happens.
One thing to bear in mind though Search Engines could view this as "cloaking"

That sounds like a good idea, but I don't like the idea of most users having to be redirected. I only want those without javascript to be redirected, cuz they're a minority. Can you explain what cloaking is?

Cloaking is when SEs spiders are shown one lot of content and the browsers a different content and because spiders aren't javascript enabled (yet) they would see the alternative.
Another option open to you would be to put your alternative to the scripted content between <noscript>...</noscript> tags this would show only in browsers with scripting turned off.
