DHTML alternatives to Javascript?

[Keith Higgs]

Since there are those of you out there who have consciously turned off the 
Javascript engines in browsers - what alternative recommendations do you 
have for delivering a page with dynamic content?  With Javascript turned 
off we will make the assumption that Java has been disabled for similar 
reasons.

Let me narrow the field a little first:

I'm working with a server I on which I do not have administrative access. 
The server supports only SafePerl and SSI for server-side processing. The 
server is running on an installation of Solaris (sorry, I don't know which 
version). The sysadmin hopes to be able to offer PHP but, has not yet 
successfully compiled PHP to run on this installation. (If anybody has any 
tips or binaries we'll be glad to hear them).

You can rule out ASP. At present the ONLY means of generating dynamic 
content server-side is SafePerl.

(Yes, Peter, you know this server.)

A typical example would be dynamic menuing.  Mouseover the heading and 
relevant content or a sub-menu is made visible. We're targeting an 800x600 
display, are being strongly encouraged to prevent scrolling, and have all 
of the usual demands for too much content for one page to handle in the 
space allowed.

Thanks,
Keith
