How far should you go when designing templates for folks who have JavaScript disabled?
For instance I want to create a switcher similar to the Envato switcher on Themeforest (top left)
What I’m planning doesn’t really affect functionality, it’s just an enhancement.
Woudl something like this be okay?

I’d make it showing on mouse hover, as long as it’s working with or without JS, that’s fine

If the site functions fine without it, I’d make it display:none, and then reveal it with Javascript. If it were essential functionality, I would make it a form with a select box and submit button, and then replace it with the switcher using Javascript. A good example of this is the pay to autocomplete on PayPal…it starts as a select box, then is replaced with the autocomplete.
