OK, here's one quick and very dirty suggestion for keeping xibits visible to google (just so I can finally switch over my publications page to xibit). Just create a new tag <span ex:index-content="true> and put anything you want working as google index terms inside </span> Make exhibit's first action on load be to delete this span from the dom
One can accomplish much the same thing with, eg, a css that turns the contents of that span invisible; however, that is a standard spammer trick and I bet google is on the lookout for it. The tag above accomplishes the same thing, and with a bit of "poetic justice"---it fools google because google isn't executing js, because if google were executing js we wouldn't need to fool google. Then we can leave it to everyone to decide for themselves what to put in the span. I'll probably take a snapshot of my rendered xibit, but someone else can put in their (escaped) json file, or anything else that takes their fancy. I've concluded the proposals for making the xibit page actually contain the data aren't likely to work well, because any format faithful to the data _and_ to the html spec is simply going to be too painful to edit manually. d David Huynh wrote: > Johan Sundström wrote: > >> On 1/25/07, David Huynh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >>> Oh that might work!
