Although I appreciate the effort, At the end of the day it's easier comprehend the JavaScript version than the hacky CSS / HTML.

Agree though by allowing JS you expose a larger attack surface than just HTML and CSS. If all you need is simple effects like these you can have a site that works even for people who don't enable JS.

Without having looked at the code I would say the number of people who have browsers supporting the needed CSS functionality is lower than the number of people who browse with JavaScript disabled.
