    > Since click menus require JavaScript, we should consider how this menu can be progressively enhanced in case JavaScript fails for any reason. Our classic hover CSS trick is still good for something after all!

    Yet the demo linked to in the article[0] doesn't work w/out js at time of writing. The article makes me want to buy in, but the lack of non-js implementation seems awkward.

    I make css hover dropdown menus a la "Setup 2" in the article's diagram, ie: the drop down top level nav item is not clickable, but expands on hover and keyboard navigation.

    I personally prefer one less effort. A mouse click is always a mouse hover first.
