Ok, this is a very general question. I am designing the public facing
part of a sales website, and want to be as compatible as I can with
everybody, as opposed to the internal side,where I used what was in
house standard to full effect.
In a way this is an odd post, because its about NOT using javascript.
Let me explain. To date, the simplest way of making anything 'do
something' when clicked, was to attach a basic event handler, and call a
URL and set one or more post variable using js.
Now, if I posit 'javascript off' I must needs do it with straight URLS,
and only GET variables embedded in it to control server side behaviour.
Or is there a way to set up one or more POST variables from a click on a
URL? I am not totally enamoured with multiple submit buttons either..
but its a possibility..
How do others approach this problem, and why?
On a similar note, I guess there is no way to have flyout menus without
a server reload..if js is off, either..
Or should I just say 'sod it: if they want to use this site, its JUST
possible without JS, but its ugly and clunky, and its there fault for
not turning it on' ?
