No it cannot be done. Anything that changes the content cannot be done
without *some* sort of scripting (the exception being :hover in CSS,
which CAN be used to add sort-of interactivity... except it doesnt work
in IE apart from on hyperlinks).

HTML is "dumb". Once it is rendered that's it. You can do anything else
to it without scripting as it's just a page full of text codes in reality.
