not really - unless you consider that e.g. onmouseover() or hover: is
not Javascript and even then if you want to unhide some block, you need
to be able to address it via the DOM. So you need a
getElementbyId(x).style.display='block'; and so on.

Cant see how to do that in css. willing to find out

I cant really write  a web page the way I want it without javascript
these days. Ok its not a LOT of javascript.
