Hi Jan,

It looks to me like that page uses "exhibit" to provide a faceted  
browsing
interface. I'm not sure that it's possible to provide dynamic  
filtering and sorting
without resorting to javascript.

I have added Ivan Herman to the page as a heads-up that the maintainers
should consider providing access to the information when js is turned  
off.

I'll note at the same time that in the new site we use js for two  
purposes
(style sheet switching, expand/collapse) and when js is turned off or  
not
supported, all the content is rendered.

Thanks for letting us know,

  - Ian
