Yes, that will work.
Unfortunately, a lot of sites rely on javascript for basic functionality, like navigation menus. Turning it on/off via browser settings is a hassle.
If you use Firefox, get the Noscript extension. It adds a little dropdown menu next to the address bar where you can turn it on/off on the fly and allow or disallow it on a site-by-site basis, either temporarily or permanently.
