Hello,
[Although the following inolves HTML code, it seems like more of a
general question, so I sent it to this list.]
I have a block of navigation code in a large bunch of HTML pages that
needs to be edited occasionally. It's easy to put in a placeholder on
the pages and Update, but of course there's a catch. I want the page
being updated to not have a link, while the same line in all other
pages has the link code. Like so...
An example code block in full:
<p class="navbarmain">
<a href="../prefatory.html">Prefatory</a> /
<a href="../Then/then.html">Then</a> /
<a href="../Others/others.html">Others</a> /
</p>
...would become, only on the Prefatory page:
<p class="navbarmain">
<span class="here">Prefatory</span> /
<a href="../Then/then.html">Then</a> /
<a href="../Others/others.html">Others</a> /
</p>
I then use the CSS class "here" to style the current page name to stand
out within the line of navigation links on the rendered page.
While it's easy to insert the whole code block on all pages, I can't
quite see how to automagically turn the current page's link into the
span. It's kind of the opposite of using the #FILE# placeholder. I
suspect I need a bit of script to do this, and since it's a common
enough task, I was hoping someone had already worked it out and would
be willing to share.
I'm on digest, so perhaps you could CC me any replies to speed up my
learning.
TIA
Rob
