Currently, I am assisting a client with their static website. This task isn't my primary role, but due to some expertise in this area, I have volunteered to support them. To streamline the process and avoid duplicating HTML code across multiple files, similar to what I did on my personal site, I utilized HTTP requests with jQuery to import nav.html and footer.html content into all pages. On my own website, the script looks like:
$(document).ready(function() {
loadContent();
});
function loadContent(){
$('nav').load('nav.html');
$('footer').load('footer.html');
}
For his website, where there are multiple sets of navigation controls enclosed by nav tags in the navbar, the script had to be modified to:
$(document).ready(function() {
loadContent();
});
function loadContent(){
$('header').load('nav.html');
$('footer').load('footer.html');
}
While the content loads correctly without any color or layout issues, certain functionalities in the navbar cease to work. The issue arises with the navbar background animation when scrolling – transitioning from transparent to colored, along with toggling the hamburger menu for an overlay containing the navigation links at differing window sizes.
Upon implementing the .load function, these dynamic elements within the navbar stopped functioning properly. Analyzing the imported CSS and JS files, alongside its specific location relative to other scripts, we discovered that Bootstrap might be causing this disruption.
If pinpointing the root cause proves challenging, exploring ways such as reloading essential components onto the separated nav.html file could potentially resolve the behavior. However, attempts at reloading select JS files directly into the HTML file yielded console errors termed "junk."
The CSS included in the document head:
<!-- CSS imports -->
<link href="assets/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Other CSS imports -->
<link href="assets/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
Content inside the navbar:
<header>
<!-- Overlay Menu Code -->
<!-- Navigation structure-->
</header>The JavaScript loaded just before :
<!-- Javascript files -->
<!-- Import sequences -->
<script src="assets/js/custom.js"></script>
Temporarily disabling the 'loadNavFooter' script amid ongoing troubleshooting efforts.
