take a gander
    #5698124 - 06/01/06 02:13 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

i have been working on a site trying to practice some new web design techniques i have been playing with.

take a look and tell me what you think.

right now it is very buggy, but it is coming along, i think. i hope to have it fully functional in the next 3 weeks or so.

Looks good. Since you're using the Zapatec framework I don't know how useful this advice will be. However right now you're defining all the content in Javascript. This precludes spidering and is detrimental to compatibility. Rather than rely on the framework which I'm sure is building your document node by node, I'd simply put your content in DIVs which are styled with display:none and use much simpler JS to toggle between them. If the DIVs start to grow too big you can dynamically load the content, but when faced with this problem recently I ended up going with simple iframes. No need to reinvent the wheel and add complexity just because you can.

yeah, i am using the JS to call html pages in their respective tabs. i thought it would be easier to use the data in other place that way. just call the respective html pages when needed. it this the wrong way to go about it? i am just starting to learn this aspect of web design. i've only been using JS for about a mont now so i may be trying to use it when it isnt needed.

what do you think?

Yeah I probably wouldn't define all your page content in Javascript variables. You're using JS as a template engine when there are much more suitable tools. Check out Smarty, and just use Javascript to manipulate page contents. As a general rule of thumb, if you're defining HTML within Javascript you might want to pursue a different approach.
