How can I tell if too much javascript is hurting the site`s navigability?
I`m working with a Drupal site that has a slider on the homepage. This slider disappears when I turn off Javascript in Chrome. Additionally a dropdown menu lower down on the page becomes unclickable when JS is turned off. How can I tell if this is hurting the site`s navigability?

W.E. Jonk: To be honest it is impossible to know for sure if this is hurting your ranking. However in general one can say that navigation does not hurt your ranking....<br /><br />That is, google can execute javascript and when you use things that all over the the internet it won't really hurt your ranking. ;
Tino Triste: As a rule of thumb if JS menus, tabs, sliders, etc aren't visible with JS turned off. They're not seo friendly, I would find another script.
Shawn Cohen: Oddly enough, the main navbar isn't JS but the slider bar and a secondary dropdown menu is. I think we'll leave it for now since the linked pages are ranking--but thanks for your help!
