JavaZone 2010 - Live Coding Session : Adding non obtrusive and search engine friendly JavaScript navigation

Usually, JavaScript based navigation is not friends with neither search engines or todays requirements for accessibility. This live coding-session begins with a simplified website with plain old HTML navigation, and transforms it into something a bit more visually pleasing by way of event-handling, DOM-manipulation and Ajax-trickery. The goal of this lightning talk is to illustrate that one does not necessarily need to code some insanely advanced stuff to create some insanely advanced looking coolery.
