Description
Currently, Bulk editing is available without JavaScript being enabled.
The result of attempting to edit a post, is a redirect back to the posts page with the post being marked as a draft. No UI is offered for bulk editing.
This behaviour exists in trunk, 3.0, and 2.9 from my testing (havn't tested earlier versions).
The Bulk editing screen appears to work without Javascript for modification submittal, so it's possible that a non-js version would be possible.

Replying to scribu:
A quick solution would be to add a 'hide-if-no-js' class to the 'Edit' <option>.
The way I see it, Bulk Editing should still work regardless of whether JS is enabled or not, right?
Correct. That stopgap is why I moved this to 3.1 though. A real fix would be swell.
UI for bulk edit (JS disabled), javascript fix for checkbox behavior during bulk edit
- Keywords has-patch needs-testing added
There are two problems that are fixed in this patch.
- UI for bulk edit when JS is disabled. User flow is as follows:
- Select posts that you want to bulk edit. Click Apply.
- A bulk edit user interface appears. You can click on the X icons to remove posts from bulk edit (which initiates another page load). New behavior: You can also selected other posts outside of the bulk edit title list if you want to include more posts without having to go back to step 1. After you're done, click Update.
- You're redirected to the normal post list with a nice update message.
- Fixed some inconsistent behavior with JavaScript bulk edit:
After you have selected posts, choose "Bulk Edit", and click Apply, the user interface appears. However, if you uncheck one of your previously selected posts outside of the Bulk Edit user interface, that post's title is still in the Bulk Edit title div. Clicking "Update" and that post ends up not changed.
On the other hand, if you select a post outside of the Bulk Edit user interface, that post's title doesn't appear in the Bulk Edit post title list. Clicking "Update" will also update that post.
- Keywords needs-refresh added; 3.2-early has-patch needs-testing removed
Patch looks good, but it needs some refresh:
- jQuery 1.6.1 => attr. vs prop.
- check some posts, bulk edit, apply: Titles doesn't added to the list
- Missing translation for remove link: Remove From Bulk Edit
