#26033 — responsive design question

The site I'm working on has a menu in the left hand column. When the 
viewport is narrow the menu collapsed to just the title (if you click on 
the title the menu collapses/expands).

By default, the menu is collapsed for a narrow viewport but if 
JavaScript is disabled then the user will have no way to expand the menu.

It means that the CSS media query that collapses the menu should only be 
applied if JavaScript is enabled.

Does this mean that the CSS media query should be dynamically 
created/applied with JavaScript so that if JavaScript is disabled then 
the menu is left expanded?

Fascinating.  What have you done instead?

I'm ignoring the issue because I surmised its unlikely that anyone on a 
mobile device has disabled JavaScript (unless of course someone complains).

There are filtering proxies and antivirus apps, though.
