      I am getting a page nt accessible to search engines error and I believe the reason is that the meta refresh is using a java script reference in the url.

      meta-refresh: 0;URL=http://mastermindtoys.com/store/nojavascript.html

      is it possible to tell the robot to use the java script or turn it off or something? or should the meta refresh be changed?

        You should change the meta refresh to a real 301 redirect for example using htaccess or PHP.

          I sent this to my developer and his response was that he didn't get what was wrong with the refresh url. his response was:

          The is redirecting to http://mastermindtoys.com/store/nojavascript.html only in case if the JavaScript is disabled in the client browser. This is the right way to do it, I don’t understand  why this might be a problem, otherwise MM has to implement Noscript pages that have a real content. I didn’t get what’s wrong about accessibility. The code 200 means it is accessible, and yes there is nothing to access if JavaScript is disabled on browser. I think there are no modern retail sites that would do any sensible business with the scripting disabled in browsers.
