[wp-hackers] hide-if-no-js... what's the point? is wordpress functional without javascript?

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

They're set by Javascript in the body:
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/admin-header.php#L94
You'll need to check the source code of the iframe to ensure that the  
proper JS is there.

That works in conjunction with this CSS:
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/css/global.dev.css#L198

Honestly, I have to say, It's a pretty ingenious solution IMO, As long as  
both the CSS, The Javascript, And the body classes exist, it all just  
works..
