Example of a Menuing System
|
Dynamic-CD uses a dynamic menuing system so that each web page has an appropriate
menu displayed on the left hand side.
Many Dynamic-CD pages share the same left-hand menu. Instead of duplicating the same code
for each page, the menu is inserted as a Server-Side Include (SSI)
file as shown below :
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="menu.inc" -->
|
The menu is dynamic : Dynamic-CD processes the SSI and
highlights the current page. On the left, for example, the item "
Menuing system" is highlighted. The link to the
current page is also removed.
| menu.inc |
<%
' ----------------------------
' PICK UP THE URL OF THIS PAGE
' ----------------------------
thisURL = Request.ServerVariables( "URL")
' ---------------------------
' DECIDE HOW TO DISPLAY
' ---------------------------
SUB menuItem( href, hrefText)
' get URL filename
urlFile = "???"
slashAt = InStrRev( thisURL, "/")
if slashAt > 0 then
urlFile = mid( thisURL, slashAt+1)
end if
' compare URLfile with hrefFile
cmpStr = href
if len( href) > len( urlFile) then
cmpStr = mid( href, len( href) - len( urlFile))
end if
if urlFile = cmpStr then
Response.Write "<B><FONT COLOR=green>" + hrefText &_
"</FONT></B><br>"
else
Response.Write "<A HREF=" + href + ">" + hrefText &_
"</A><br>"
end if
END SUB
' ---------------------------
' CREATE THE MENU ITEM
' ---------------------------
call menuItem( "menuSyst.asp", "Menuing system")
%>

The code for the Dynamic-CD menuing system can be found in the
????menu.asp
files in the Dynamic-CD release directories.
