[geeklog-devel] Config GUI issues

[=MF=Geiss]

That's misleading. The core menu requires JS only in the instance the 
browser is IE6 or below. The animated slideout JS is just additional 
candy. The core JS is only 15 lines, vs. a whole slew of conditional 
comments in the markup, not to mention a larger css file if IRC. I might 
be wrong though there, I can't remember.

Still, I think it boils down to personal preference. I've spent a lot of 
time at Stu's site as well. :-) I'm not knocking it, just not the 
solution in that instance that I would embrace.
