Hi
a. First you have to understand how your application works - i.e. how does
it detect that the browser doesnt support javascript (there are some ways
to do this - e.g. set a cookie in javascript or make an ajax call that
dumps a value into session or generate a token in javascript etc)
b. Then you simulate the same in JMeter.

You usually debug this by running through the same steps on the browser but
using a recording tool like fiddler/live http headers or whatever that
captures the request and response headers.

Then you compare the request and response in JMeter's view result tree. So
if for e,g. a fresh(no cache) browser is sending some cookie (but there was
no set-cookie , then its likely set from javascript and if your
corresponding JMeter step doesn't send a cookie then you know where the
issue is (note just an example - it depends on what your actual problem is)

bottom line -You need to compare request / response of browser v/s Jmeter
