G'Day All,
I've been working on an idea for some time now & I'd like some input.
I'm trying to create a global site navigation system using javascript.
The code I've created so far will get the window.location.href, strip off the excess text & use the datum left to generate the back & next links.
It works (barely) if the file's name is an integer value.
eg: 1.shtml
What I'd like to achieve is to create the navigation interface using an array with all the pages in the site listed (& all the folders) - with the page names as any (string or a number) value.
On each page would be:
1 Forward & back links for moving through the array in a linear pathway.
2 Global links to individual folder's index page.
3 Sectional links to each page within the current folder.
4 A history of all the pages visited.
5 Have the history encoded into a cookie.
6 Have the array dynamically generated - server-side(?) & written to a file.
Any suggestions on the best way to go about this?
Thanks,
Oliver Reid
