and then use JS
Where is Nick Sabalausky and what have you done to him?
Heh :) The main problems I have with JS are:
- When it's *required* for stuff that's perfectly feasable without it.
- When there's so much JS that loading/using the page slows to a crawl.
- When it breaks forward/backward and linking/bookmarking (like on GitHub,
for instance).
- Abusing JS for dumb/irritating things like pop-ups, pop-ins, excess
animation (the rollout animation in cuteDoc is tastefully done though, I
have no issues with that), etc.
- The syntax/semantics/api/etc of the JS language itself.
But I've never had a problem with a little bit of *optional* JS being used
to streamline a few things here and there, a least for things that just
can't be done without JS. Heck, even I use JS like that now and then. For
example, the rollovers on this page: http://www.attentionworkout.com If JS
is off (and this wasn't at all hard to do) it still works (You just have to
click instead of rollover. It's possible to get *actual* rollovers with CSS
alone, but in this specific case, I needed a rollover on one element to
change a different element, and I couldn't figure out a CSS-only way to do
that. If anyone knows if that's possible with CSS-only, I'd be glad to hear
how.

The above link shows two ways of affecting other elements with CSS
hover. I don't know if it would work in your case, you would probably
need to restructure the HTML code quite a lot.
BTW, this link is very handy: http://w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp
