FYI here's an example of a page of mine that uses the "position it 
off the screen" approach to content switching:

This contents page and the essay pages below it have a 
Japanese/English toggle switch.

With JavaScript disabled, the language links reload the page with the 
selected language displayed -- which it does simply by setting the body class.

With JavaScript enabled, the language switch happens instantaneously 
using the same method.
