These all seem to require the use of Javascript to actually handle the click
event? The suggestion was an alternative to implement clickable drop down
menus without Javascript.
The simple event processing these menus generally require could probably be
handled by a very limited subset of Javascript. Perhaps some declarative
event handling could be defined such as click or gesture state that feeds into
the CSS calculations, for example: clicks cycling a property through a
numerical sequences, [0 and 1 to toggle a pull down menu, 0 to 3 for 90 image
rotations in a gallery etc.], separate left and right rotation buttons could be
implemented by subtracting one button counter from another in CSS calculations.
