April 29, 200917 yr Hi My website is in a constant state of work-in-progress. It works, it's pretty and easily accessible. However, I want to add some javascript enhancement to the site so that it runs as seamlessly as possible for users with the correct software. All my pages are just that: separate pages. I know I can selectively show and hide elements using javascript, and that I can import an html fragment file into the page. I don't want to do either of those: I want to open an html file, get one element, import it and display it so that it appears that only the new content is provided (not the entire new page). Eg: <html> <div class="dontneed"> <!-- Don't need this content --> </div> <div class="need"> <!-- Need to extract this for my page --> </div> </html> Can that be done?
April 29, 200917 yr I would go with PHP - purely as the work would be done on the server, and any clients don't need Javascript running.
April 30, 200917 yr Author Thanks for the reply. Since I'm intending to progressively enhance my site, I think the job will need to be done by asynchronous request. That means javascript. So I'll hijack the link, do the javascript and the new page appears to replace the current one. People without javascript will just get the link to a new page.
