Am deep in the process of redesigning the Bank's Web site, and am
wondering how best to do the following:
On each page of the site will be a fairly lengthy text-based navigation
column running down the left. It will be exactly the same on each page,
*except* that I want to highlight the currently-selected page/section --
probably by the usual convention of removing the href tag from it so it's
not a link:
__Publications__
__Working Papers__
__Backgrounders__
Speeches << not a link
__Journal Articles__
...and so on.
OK. So I want to use SSI to plug in the HTML for the navigation column
when a page is loaded, rather than embed the HTML in every single page;
however, this will not allow me to highlight the appropriate entry for the
various pages, without a script of some sort that will alter the HTML on
the fly.
So what do people think is the best route to go here? Basically, I want
the SSI to execute conditionally: "check the URL of the page that is being
loaded; examine the include file that renders the navigation column; when
a URL in the include file matches the URL that is being loaded, strip out
the <a href> tag from that text."
I guess this could be done in Perl easily enough, though I'm also wondering
about Javascript too. Suggestions/opinions?
