drop down menu or similar that does not use javascript

[Richard Ruda]

Many browsers have javascript turned off now for security reasons. Can
anyone help with samples of a drop down menu that doesn't use javascript.
Thanks
Richard

The only real possibility is that you would use a form element (<select>).
I have heard tell of pure CSS dropdown menus, but haven't seen one yet.

Richard,

You said, "Many browsers have javascript turned off now for security reasons." where did you get that information? If it is true,
then the millions of web sites that rely upon JavaScript menuing systems, e.g. http://www.msn.com, http://msnbc.com,
http://www.espn.com, the list goes on .... Would be in having a lot of problems with visitors.

Stats at www.w3shools.com indicate 10% of browsers do not have JavaScript
enabled.

I have no idea as to how these stats. are gathered - the mechanism could be
blocked by firewalls, pop-up blockers or similar, etc., which would make the
actual figure smaller.

Ron,

I have a very hard time with that number. IE comes with it enabled as do all other major browsers.

For what it's worth, I think it's high too. The only people I've ever seen
who turn it off are other developers, but whatever! 8)

Almost every browser, Lynx is one exception, comes with JavaScript enabled
out of the box. But that does not stop users turning it off.

I run NN4 with JavaScript turned off, so that I can see my site with no CSS
or JavaScript, and I have placed sites hosted by Geocities in IE's
restricted zone - no JavaScript.

How w3schools.com generate their stats I do not know - popup blockers etc.
could be giving false negatives; I have seen other sites (can't find them
again, of course) quoting similar figures.

The people who visit sites that display browser stats. most likely are web
developers - hence the high figure?

That's likely, I think....
