A:
You could simply have the "log in" button disabled by default and have it enabled by JavaScript when the document is loaded.
Also put a message saying the JavaScript is disabled on a page and make it visible by default. Upon document load, hide the message. Alternatively, use the <noscript> tag.

but i need to give user a message about java script disable. otherwise he might not know what to do.

I'd also have a message directing a user to enable JS, which would be disabled by JS on page load

@Sumit Gupta: have the message show up by default, and then hide it as you show the login button with JS.

+1 @Sumit accept the answer, this is the way it should be done. Checking at the server side isn't reliable. As mentioned in the answer, use the <noscript> tag for whatever message you want to show to the user when javascript is disabled.
