so... Is this a safe way to use internal links on your site.. By doing this i have the index page generating the usual php content section and handing it to the div element.
THE MAIN QUESTION: Will google still index the pages using this method? Common sense tells me it does.. But just double checking and leaving this here as a base example as well if it is. As in.
EXAMPLE ONLY PEOPLE
The Server Side
if (isset($_REQUEST['page'])) {$pageID=$_REQUEST['page'];} else {$pageID="home";}
if (isset($_REQUEST['pageMode']) && $_REQUEST['pageMode']=="js") {
require "content/".$pageID.".php";
exit;
} // ELSE - REST OF WEBSITE WILL BE GENERATED USING THE page VARIABLE
The Links
<a class='btnMenu' href='?page=home'>Home Page</a>
<a class='btnMenu' href='?page=about'>About</a>
<a class='btnMenu' href='?page=Services'>Services</a>
<a class='btnMenu' href='?page=contact'>Contact</a>
The Javascript
$(function() {
$(".btnMenu").click(function(){return doNav(this);});
});
function doNav(objCaller) {
var sPage = $(objCaller).attr("href").substring(6,255);
$.get("index.php", { page: sPage, pageMode: 'js'}, function(data) {
("#siteContent").html(data).scrollTop(0);
});
return false;
}
Forgive me if there are any errors, as just copied and pasted from my script then removed a bunch of junk to simplify it as still prototyping/white boarding the project its in. So yes it does look a little nasty at the moment.
REASONS WHY:
The main reason is bandwidth and speed, This will allow other scripts to run and control the site/application a little better and yes it will need to be locked down with some coding. --
FURTHER EXAMPLE-- INSERT PHP AT TOP
<?php
// PHP CODE HERE
?>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class='siteBody'>
<div class='siteHeader'>
<?php
foreach ($pageList as $key => $value) {
if ($pageID == $key) {$btnClass="btnMenuSel";} else {$btnClass="btnMenu";}
echo "<a class='$btnClass' href='?page=".$key."'>".$pageList[$key]."</a>";
}
?>
</div><div id="siteContent" style='margin-top:10px;'>
<?php require "content/".$pageID.".php"; ?>
</div><div class='siteFooter'>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
