Javascript disabled Menu control Accessibility

[Mike Logan]

According to this page: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227996.aspx

For the Menu control:

"In browsers that do not support the full client-side functionality of the
control, the browser will refresh the window to show the secondary
navigation, which might cause screen readers to begin reading the page again."

I cannot get this to work in Internet Explorer or Firefox.

In Internet Explorer the browser does a postback, but the page never
reloads. 15 minutes later and it still hasn't reloaded.

In Firefox, I don't even believe it does a postback.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Hi Mike,

Per this statement: "In browsers that do not support the full client-side
functionality of the control", it doesn't mean that it can detect you
disabled javascript in IE. ASP.NET determines browser capabilities by
checking the user-agent info sent by the browser.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if anything is unclear.

Sincerely,

Is there anyway I can make it work with javascript disabled?

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately the Menu control will not work without javascript.

As for the behavior described in the page you referenced, you can test it
by setting ClientBrowser="downlevel" in the @ Page directive. However, the
postback by the menu's hyperlink is still using javascript, so disabling
javascript will not make it work.

Sorry for the typo in previous reply, should be ClientTarget="downlevel".
