I've been looking a the usage of javascript in the browser as a mechanism of "Client Side Includes". I've been considering the idea that this can be used a a powerful mechanism to pull global navigation content into the site navigation without having to regenerate all the separate project pages everytime something changes on the global navigation for the Commons.
Why not server-side includes? Or is that not available?
For instance
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="navigation.js"></SCRIPT>
could be added to the commons-site.jsl such that it would be used to include the contents of "navigation.js" into the navigation bar on the client side.
<snip/>
This way, any time a change was made to navigation.js, it would show up instantly on all the commons projects navigation. as teh navigation.js is pull independently and rendered in the browser.
thoughts? -Mark
I think that relying on JavaScript for such a crucial thing like navigation is a bad idea. The idea of having a single place for the navigation-meny is, of course, a good one. But there should be a better way to do it.
