Actually, it is possible to just use some DOM scripting, therefore based on
the two different situations, I could have it either way, on hover or on
click. However I still would like to know if Javascript could be used on
KDE.org websites. One reason I would like to know is that in the future
there could be a font changer script, on the homepage to increase the
fontsize throughout the whole page.
