Preface

A blog implies a work of regular upkeep. These ramblings may be a little less...

I was inspired by a cyberverse.neocities blog page on dynamic website navigation links from a json file, instead of manually editing every web page when a new link is needed.

As I am still learning html and css, I thought using an html file for multiple sources would be good for now. ChatGPT was able to understand what I wanted very quickly, and was able to adjust the features with minimal hallucination and memory fatigue.

Here is a demonstration:

The reason As of this writing, this is being used to set the dynix navigation header across all dynix theme pages. I may try to make an interactive text experience with this tool.

Code notes:

• The javascript identifies an element, preferably something like a div, on the destination.html page when it has data-DynamicJSdestination; its attribute value sets the destination identifier.
• The destination needs a data-file attribute value to the address of the source.html file. The destination element also needs the data-source attribute with a value matching an source.html element with a matching data-DynamicJSsource value.
• You can create additional data-* attributes and values for parameters that can fill into elements with matching attributes in the source.html element.
• In the source.html, an element needs the data-DynamicJSsource value to match the data-source value from destination.html.
• You can call for a parameter in the source element, specified in the destination element's data-* attributes, by adding the same data-* attribute to an element, like a span. Text within the element will act as a default, and shall be replaced with the matching value.
• Finally, you can change source.html elements with a hyperlink that has a data-DynamicJSlink attribute value that matches the destination identifier and a data-source attribute value matching a source.html element. These hyperlinks can be within the source element or outside the destination element.

Phew.

Should you read this message, due to Neocities spam prevention feature for new users, I am unable to respond to your message in the Neocities profile system for a period of one week.

I utilized an online tool to generate the logotype. Upon inspection, I see that it is using the figlet software. Thank you for your comment, as I was unaware what this was called besides ascii.

Kind regards,
