Just put both sets of menus into your file. The one for users without js should be visible by default, the other one hidden (using css). Then put in a script which toggles the menu sets' visibility: the js menu will be made visible by js, the other one hidden. Due to the fact that the toggling will only work if js is enabled, you'd have the desired effect.

The JavaScript dependent menu, draw all of it with document.write statemenst. The JavaScript free menu, put it inside a NOSCRIPT element. Then all will be well.

<i> </i><title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body> <form> <!--this javascript ensures that anybody that doesnt use javascript wont see the menu--> <script type="text/javascript"> <!--hide script from older browsers document.write('<select name="whatever"><option>1</option><option>2</option></select>'); --> </script> <noscript> <!--this is shown only if you have disabled javascript--> you disabled javascript or have a browser that does not support javascript... please enable javascript. <select name="nojs"> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> </select> </noscript> </form> </body> </html>
of corse you might want to change it around a little bit but this is the best way for me to show stuff only for non javascripters and seperatly for javascript enabled browsers
@CharlesJan 03.2005 — #Do not use the NOSCRIPT element to ask people to enable JavaScript. We know JavaScript isn't enabled or supported and some have disabilities that prohibit the use of JavaScript. Those messages only offend.
