Who
Atlanta Partnership for Arts in Learning (APAL).
What
A DHTML-enriched site that can work even when a user breaks it.
When
May 2003.
Where
Fulltime employee of EAI.
How
After we designed a robust, context-sensitive menu system that required some heavy JavaScripting to work across an array of browsers and platforms, we then made it work when JavaScript and/or stylesheets were turned off. In the end, the site is as fancy or simple and the user controls it to be.
