I find it annoying. Sometimes I'm looking to see what's under the menu
and don't necessarily want to use it. Just 'snooping' around to get my
bearings.

As for the javascript issue, if you really want it to auto-forward, then
do add a GO button, and then HIDE that via javascript. That way you
accommodate those with and without javascript.
