I don't really understand the point you were trying to make To be honest. Your page just shows an example of a menu system - nothing new there. But this thread is about how the look and feel responds when delivered on a smaller device. Yours doesn't "respond" at all - it is just the same page on a small screen. Having the menu collapse into a three bar button is a common, intuitive approach - so the idea was for you to view and assess it on such a device. You don't get "hover" and "tooltip" when you are using your finger to operate a mobile touch screen. Also, you don't necessarily have to sacrifice functionality - you just need to be clever enough to modify the UI to suit the screen size, which includes collapsing widgets and bigger text.

My example was written without a code generator.
I understand the point about being responsive and was clear that what I was showing was only a starting point.
I just went back and looked at Nathan's example. I had had my pane too narrow and the menubar was not visible. I see it is set to nowrap and uses a 3-bar button on the upper right corner when too narrow. Since a hover didn't drop the menu or display a tooltip, I didn't pick up on that element being a clickable image - it looked like a part of the blue bar background image.
The severe design limitation I see with a fully responsive solution is that the site design is severely limited if there is going to be a one-solution-everywhere requirement. This, to me, is a designer issue, not a programmer issue.
As to JQuery... I have no issues with that as a tooling solution.

I agree with Nathan here. I don't see any comparison with your example.
Was it generated by a WYSIWG tool?
How is using jQuery like building a typewriter?

Would the following be a far neater and more standard starting place?

It has some cool gradients, but is otherwise non-functional.
I understand the concept being pursued but it seems to me thatessay
ignoring the simple tools that are available to us is kind of like
writing an
on world peace where the first step is to build a typewriter.
Again, without you showing us something that is functional, it is
hard to compare. You may have a point; a simpler menu perhaps. But
it's not readily apparent.
