Re: How many people switch off javascript?

Thanks to both of you for these pointers.
The only way I've ever managed to get a collapsible menu to work is through
javascript, and the code I use is a massive javascript file that is
required even in order to load up the menu items. I have used
tags to enclose a tabular menu in the past, but I'm not doing that anymore
as it simply loads 2 massive menus instead of one!
I'll take a look at these examples to see if there is anything I can glean
from them to build a better menu, which may help whether I can convince our
client to do without the text-based site or not!

That would make a lot more sense if they were turned off the first time,
though.
