Javascript Disabled Web UI Functionality - Best Practices?

Hello All,

I have been searching for the accepted manner of providing web UI
functionality with Javascript disabled. Assuming I am not missing a
third way, the two methods I can think of are:

1.) Using an Input tag, re-scheming (doing requisite re-populating of
page etc.) at server, returning page.

2.) Using and anchor tag with a URL query, ....

There are pros and cons to both methods but to me the second method
would be most preferable because of greater css styling options with
an anchor tag and the bloody message that comes up when you hit the
refresh button after hitting an input tag but....

Assuming that keeping the URL clean (ie stripped of query string) was
of importance (and again assuming I am not missing a third way - and
if I am someone please enlighten me) what would be the lesser of two
evils:

1.) Using the input method
2.) Using the anchor method with a redirect to clean the URL.

Hope you all can enlighten.

Thanx

Jim
