Load XML extension
Version 1.0
The Load XML extension allows you to use an external XML document as your menu data source.
View the demo to see it in action.
It works using XMLHttpRequest
(aka Ajax)
to load the XML,
then imports data from that to populate the menus on the main page.
Installation
Download the
Load XML script and data file,
copy them both into your udm-resources folder,
and add the script include to the body section:
<!-- load xml extension -->
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/udm-resources/udm-x-loadxml.js"></script>
Script configuration
There's a single configuration variable at the top of the script, where you specify the location of the XML data file:
um.xdata = '/udm-resources/udm-menudata.xml';
If you set a relative path, it should be relative to the page you're using it on.
XML configuration
The XML file that comes with the script shows how the menu data should be structured. Here's an outline of the format, showing a single menu:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<udm xmlns="http://www.brothercake.com/udm" xml:lang="en">
<menudata>
<item idref="about">
<ul xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<li><a href="/products/">Products</a></li>
<li><a href="/services/">Service</a></li>
</ul>
</item>
</menudata>
</udm>
Inside each <item> node you define the menu as a
complete <ul> including
the HTML namespace.
It's vital that you define the namespace (for the root <ul>
inside each <item>) or the menus will be
imported in the udm namespace,
and either won't work at all (Mozilla), or won't have functional attributes (Opera).
Each <item> should also have a unique idref
attribute, that tells the script which navbar item this menu
should be appended to.
So for our example, the corresponding list-item
in the main navbar would look like this:
<li id="about"><a href="/about/">About us</a></li>
When the script runs, it iterates through all the <item>
nodes in the data file, and for each one looks for an
HTML element with an
ID matching its idref - if a match is found, the
<ul> is imported and appended to that element.
Browser notes
This extension is not supported in Mac/IE5, Konqueror 3.2, Safari 1.1 or earlier, Opera 7.5 or earlier, or Mozilla builds older than 0.9.4 (Netscape 6.2).
Accessibility notes
Menus generated using this method are not accessible to non-javascript browsers.
