bootstrap dropdown buttons do not work without javascript

[Yves-Gwenael Bourhis]

When using a browser with javascript deactivated (or a javascript uncapable browser), the bootstrap dropdown buttons do not work.

It is true that most of the active Horizon components built with Bootstrap such as the drop down menu require jQuery and JavaScript. However, I don't think even if the menu templates were tweaked to fail gracefully the rest of Horizon would behave well without JS. It's not really a bug, more of a design decision.

Hi,

I think that if requiring JS is a design decision, when users log in with JS deactivated they should at least have a warning message displayed which mention that.

So far, the agreement has been that the general functionality should still be available when Javascript is disabled, although not necessarily provide as nice and polished a user experience. If something doesn't work at all with JS disabled, it's a bug.

The dropdown functionality does not work if the JS or JQuery is disabled.
But the overall logic and result does not get effected and even the exceptions will not raise.

You can try it for launching a VM with JS disabled.It works fine.

We've made the decision moving forward that Horizon will require JavaScript to be fully functional. The functionality should still be accessible via screen readers. If this is not the case, please update this bug.
