Re: [support] Dynamic Menus That Work OK Without Javascript
I turned off javascript in my browser and the menus no longer work. In fact, the whole page loses a lot of theming when javascript is turned off. I believe those menus are completely dependent on javascript. Am I missing something? I don't know how you could achieve this without at least some javascript or flash.

Has anyone set up dynamic menus in Drupal like this:
????
The critical element here is that since the sub-elements expand in the left navigation when you go to a section or subsection, it is possible to use the entire navigation without javascript (though with javascript you are able to jump directly to any subsubitem).
Assuming that no one has done this yet, any suggestions on the best modules to use a basis for code hacking to achieve this?

It does look like they have broken styling on this site without javascript, but the menus do still work. My main issue with most dynamic menu systems is that they make the site inaccessible for anyone without javascript (which is still currently at least 5% of all users).

There are several implementations of this floating around.

Thanks for the links. These look very nice, but both are still inaccessible without Javascript. They probably can give me a starting point to hack something up, though. -- Randal

A reminder, BTW: Actually I choose Drupal, because it was the only CMS I found working with "Javascript off". So with Drupal users possibly the "JS off" part is somehow larger. I intentionally switch JS off. I hope I can keep this with 4.7, I just started testing. Servus Franz

I absolutely agree. Drupal seems to have compliant HTML and specifically no Javascript that allows me to access it form *any* browser, and that is a main reason of why I selected it.
