Javascript for navigational purposes |
A javascript navigational system can be a great addition to your website. Like with every other detail of your website it will require careful planning. It needs to be easy to understand; it needs to be usable by all popular browsers; it needs to fit well with the design of your website; and it must be a concept search engines will relate with. |
Sorry, but it is time for the sad news. Search engines will not relate with javascript navigational systems. What that means is that they will spider your website and not be able to go to the other pages. They simply do not yet read javascript. This is a bummer. But smile, because you can use the beautiful techniques of a javascript navigational system and get your whole website indexed. The solution is a sitemap created in straight html with normal hyperlinks and on each page of your website you include a typical html hyperlink to the sitemap page. Because the sitemap page will have a normal hypertext link to every page of your website with a hypertext link going back to the sitemap your whole website will be indexed. |
A javascript navigational system is tough to code so it will work with all popular browsers. Below I have links to several scripts already created that should work anywhere from well enough to perfectly. Just remember what I suggested in the paragraph above regarding a sitemap. |

Before going to these links keep in mind several points. The first is that the presentation may not match what you need in respect to your own websites design. You will have to be creative and change colors, borders, and possibly even images. One more thing is typically you get what you pay for; or donít pay for. Free rarely comes with support. Paying for a product typically means you will get support. In some cases, for an added fee, custom work will be available. It certainly never hurts to ask a question. In any case, enjoy, good luck. |
