I agree with the poster above who said "[I]t might also be better, not
to use NOSCRIPT, but to remove those elements which are for NoJS clients
using JavaScript". Construct your page with HTML so that top menu 1 -3
are "expanded" with all of the submenu items showing. When your page
loads in a user-agent without JS, all of the menu items will be visible
and accessible. Then add a script that executes in the body's onload()
event which arranges the menus in the way you like (e.g. with the
submenus hidden until a top menu item is clicked on).
