What if javascript is off?

Post by jgold723 »

I love this menu.

But what happens if a view has their security settings set so high that javascript is off?

Is there a way to get a non-javascript dependent menu to appear in this case?

Thanks,

John

This menu is totally javascript, so if the user has javascript turned off, it cant really put in a back up menu in place because it would need javascript to do that. Its up to you to put in place a way to cover for that, basically put in <NOSCRIPT> tags into your page and between those put some HTML that would perform the basic operations of a menu in case the Milonic DHTML is not allowed to load.

Take a look at the home page on our website http://milonic.com/

There is a HTML table based menu inside <NOSCRIPT> tags that is ideal for users with JavaSccript swithed off.

Google likes this table based menu too so if you want good SEO you'll need a secondary <NOSCRIPT> menu.

I simply copied the main menu design and placed and css menu underneath, so you can't tell the difference. The css menu also links to a site map for all links. Its still under development, but you can take a look at the -www- link below. The menu at the bottom of the page is identical to the menu under the javascript menu, so I don't have to turn off javascript to see it.
