Hub You - Seven Reasons to Avoid JavaScript Dynamic Navigation
There are many questions that often come up for new small business owners around offering guarantees - what kind, how long, am I risking too much by doing so, and even if they should offer them at all.In my business, I offer a guarantee on everything I sell. The guarantees for my products are slightly different than the guarantees I give for my 1:1 coaching and consulting services, but the one thing they hav

As a human resources professional or business owner, you face many challenges during the hiring process, from sorting through stacks of job applicant r?sum?s to making an attractive offer to the one person you believe best matches the specifications of your open position's job description. The whole procedure is more than time-consuming; it can be stressful as well.None of the demands of finding and hiring t
When navigation is not permanently displayed, it makes moving through a site difficult.
One of the keys to making a site easy to use is giving visitors a clear indication of where in the site they are now, have been, and should go to next. Good navigation will provide all of these things, but it’s impossible to accomplish using menus which only appear when the mouse is over them.
It can be hidden by embedded elements, making navigation to some pages impossible.
Most dynamically-displaying navigation goes over the top of content which is already visible. However some content, like embedded video and Flash animations, will not be hidden by the navigation bar, but stay on top, with the result that parts of the navigation will be impossible to reach.
It's not guaranteed to work in all browsers.
Some browsers have stricter implementations of JavaScript than others, which means that while your code may work perfectly well in IE, you’d better be prepared for some serious testing to ensure that it works equally well in FireFox, Mozilla, Safari, Opera and other minority browsers. If your navigation is broken then so is your site.
It requires fine motor control and hand-eye co-ordination.
In common with most dynamic menu systems, like Windows’ own Start menu, getting around it requires practice and some skill with a mouse. If you have ever done a usability study with elderly users you will find that not everyone finds this easy. Windows does get one thing right; you can use it fairly easily using just the arrow keys - not often the case with JavaScript navigation.

For small business owners, an enthusiastic vision for smooth, steady growth can become nothing more than a mirage once company cash flow problems begin to heat up. Most will struggle with the timing of payment from clients or customers at some point, all while attempting to pay their own bills in a timely fashion. With all of the best laid plans for rapid flowing cash streams evaporating down to just a gurgle in th

Striving to persuade others to impact on their behavior and the way of thinking is shown one of the essential needs of human being to his social living improvement .The ways of encouraging and convincing the audience, as it comes later, has had a great influence on human beings' minds throughout the history.

Years ago I used to focus on the worst members of the audience. The ones who crossed their arms and legs, never smiled, hardly said a word or took a single note throughout the day. I felt the need to ‘win them over’ to prove my ability as a speaker and a trainer.I’ve learned something over the years: Some people do not want to be won over – and that’s OK.Now I focus on the audience members who do resp

Organized crime aside, beating a prospect over the head is not a reasonable sales tactic. Years ago I was taught that in order to make a withdrawal, I first had to make a deposit; maybe many deposits – depending on my immediate request.This theory should apply to our sales and marketing strategies. When we make a sales call we want something -- and we want it even before the person says ‘hello’. Script re

There are better ways to accomplish the same thing.
One good thing about JavaScript is that a single script file can contain the navigation for the entire site. When you update that file, the whole site’s navigation updates. However, this is also the case with any server-side scripting technology, outputting standard HTML, with none of the drawbacks listed here.
JavaScript can be easily turned off – then your site is broken!
Since JavaScript powers many of the things that are most unwelcome on the web, such as pop-ups and windows that refuse to close, some people turn it off (it’s easy to do by accessing the ‘Security’ tab in Internet Options). In that case, most dynamic navigation stops working, and in some cases the navigation bar disappears altogether. Statistics from W3Schools show that 10% of the visitors to your site will have JavaScript disabled. Since there’s no really good reason to use JavaScript for navigation, why even run the risk that your site will be unusable by 10% of your visitors?
