I’m designing a website. I’m very pleased with the layout, in no small part because I am using the Navigation Popup Action to simplify the navigation/nav bar.
I understand this Action uses Javascript and therefore visitors with Javascript turned off can not navigate the site. But how many people turn Javascript off (let alone know what it is)? Is this really a problem?
The biggest “visitor” you should worry about in this sense is Google. If you want the site to be crawled for links, then using JavaScript for navigation is a huge no-no.
Google won’t be able to find the other pages, only the homepage, and therefore if people are looking for content that I’ve got on the other pages, my site won’t be listed by Google?
Yes I can do basically the same thing, using the CSS Menu action to create drop downs
or…
if I stick with the Navigation Popup action, on the homepage I could have a html link to a page with a sitemap (basically a list of the half dozen pages the site consists of). This would ensure that Google can find (crawl) all the pages of my site??
