What'd be better in terms of accessibility is if you provided the same functionality as the javascript powered menu for legacy browsers or simply those with js turned off via server-side processing instead. There's so much more to layout design than just the latest fancy effect: ultimately a website is an information resource, javscript and css merely vehicles to that end, and unless you are terminally stupid, you and any companies you work for would want to open it up to as wide a ranging audience as possible rather than using technology for its own sake.

Have you created a print stylesheet correctly? How does it render on a small screen, with images turned off, in eLinks, on a braille reader? On the server side, have you separated presentation and content layers via SGML, XML or some other device so that it can easily be migrated to a new system or markup language? For that matter can content be modified independently of the transmission medium (html)? Can you access it with the gopher protocol?

IMO, a website that achieves all the above (save perhaps the last!) but does not have javascript-powered flying spaceships which 13 year olds would perceive as "cool", spelt with a K, is far better and will be far more impressive to any potential employer with half a clue.

Use javascript for something worthwhile, such as asynchronous content delivery via XML rather than some tin pot navigation system that may amuse you but is likely to drive others away.

Wow you all took that the wrong direction. When I was 13 I was makeing cool effects in a web browser. Thats because that is the only platform I had. I lost touch with html technology because I moved on to flash and 3D. Look though all my websites... bja888.com is the only one with dynamic content strongly built in.

See I like how you all pick on bja888.coms javascript flaw and completly forget to mention the menu for optimal source. There is a flash menu option but it defaults to the hrml menu that works just fine with javascript and css and images turned off. I havent checked yet but I think it works just fine in a text browser.

You guys seem to think I have no idea what I am talking about because I have 1 website with a flaw that I knew about before I even came up with the Idea of makeing it.

Hey even I pick out a book based on its cover but at least I give it the benefit of the dought.

EDIT: By the way, the reason for bja888.com haveing those menus is so the menu took up little space on the page for smaller screen res. Bja888.com is miles from the myspace site you think it is.

We seem to think you have no idea what you are talking about because you prove it over and over and over and over....

Bryan, your quality of work and time spent on the subject are grossly disproportionate.

See, onece again when I have you guys pinned you avoid the subject. Makeing false generalasitions which you just put this conversation back at the start of the circle untill you find some small detail to pick on then well go around again.

Try talking (typeing) with your mouth not your ass.
...was that too cryptic for you?

Make a point or admit you don't have one.

Pinned with what?

He made his point rather well, actually.

Your CSS 'insult' there is bollocks by the way. Think about it...

I think I used to date BJ's twin sister. Not exactly an hourglass figure, but pretty much all mouth and ass.
