Thanks for the patch. I thought we had a no-js class but we don't...

Instead of undoing the CSS for JS, maybe we can only set the CSS on :not(.js)?

@LewisNyman Attached patch uses your suggestion, but I'm hesitant to use this pattern:
- It introduces styling specific for non-javascript users instead of using javascript for progressive enhancement
- It would be the first occurrence of this type of selector in HEAD

Personally I would prefer the approach in #1, but I'll leave the call up to you.

The .no-js class is commonly used on the web, right? The :not(selector) is just a modern equivalent of this. I'd rather not override CSS and the SMACSS principles we've embraced in our coding standards are designed to avoid this kind of CSS. Setting to RTBC and we can at least get a committer's opinion on it.

From the look of it, dropbutton.component.css has approximately 50 gazillion .js .something-something rules and zero ":not" rules. Therefore, I think #1 is probably best, though it might be worth a separate issue to discuss whether / how to introduce ":not" syntax.

Committed and pushed #1 to 8.0.x. Thanks!
