My opinion is that it is madness.

The web is not paper.

It never will be paper.

The web, in contrast to paper which is inflexible, is flexible and
always will be.  The user and his browser have ultimate control and
basically always will have.  Applying paper thinking to the web is
akin to someone applying the conventions of radio to TV and wondering
why they don't seem to work very well.  Watch some early TV sometime
and you'll see what I mean.

Different media require different approaches.  Your technique, if I
read right, can be defeated simply by turning Javascript off.  And a
not inconsiderable minority of users already does this.

Learn to compose for the medium, not against it.  CSS povides the
tools you need to do that.
