Automatically add new top level pages to this menu
To automatically add new top-level pages to a menu, you'll need to use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Here's a basic example of how you can achieve this:
HTML
<!-- The menu container -->
<div id="menu-container">
<ul id="menu">
<!-- Existing menu items -->
<li><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
JavaScript
// Get the menu container and the menu ul
const menuContainer = document.getElementById('menu-container');
const menu = document.getElementById('menu');
// Function to add new menu items
function addMenuItem(newPage) {
// Create a new li element
const li = document.createElement('li');
// Create a new a element
const a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = `#${newPage}`; // Set the href to the new page
a.textContent = newPage; // Set the text content to the new page name
li.appendChild(a); // Add the a element to the li
menu.appendChild(li); // Add the li to the menu
}
// Example of how to add a new menu item
addMenuItem('New Page');
CSS
/* Style the menu */
#menu {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
}
#menu li {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#menu a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #333;
}
#menu a:hover {
color: #666;
}
In this example, we're using JavaScript to dynamically add new menu items to the menu container. The addMenuItem
function takes a new page name as an argument, creates a new li
element, adds a new a
element to it, and then appends the li
to the menu.
To automatically add new top-level pages to the menu, you'll need to modify the addMenuItem
function to detect when a new page is added to your website. This could be done by:
- Listening for changes to the page's DOM (e.g., using the
MutationObserver
API). - Periodically checking for new pages (e.g., using a timer).
- Using a library or framework that provides a way to automatically detect and add new pages to the menu.
Here's an updated example that uses the MutationObserver
API to detect changes to the page's DOM:
// Get the menu container and the menu ul
const menuContainer = document.getElementById('menu-container');
const menu = document.getElementById('menu');
// Create a MutationObserver instance
const observer = new MutationObserver(() => {
// Check if a new page has been added
const newPages = Array.from(menu.children).filter((li) =>!li.textContent.includes(' ')); // Filter out existing menu items
newPages.forEach((newPage) => {
addMenuItem(newPage.textContent.trim()); // Add the new page to the menu
});
});
// Observe the menu container for changes
observer.observe(menuContainer, {
childList: true,
subtree: true,
});
In this example, we're using the MutationObserver
API to observe the menu container for changes. When a change is detected, we filter out existing menu items and add the new page to the menu using the addMenuItem
function.
Note that this is just a basic example, and you'll likely need to modify it to fit your specific use case. Additionally, you may need to add additional logic to handle cases where new pages are added or removed dynamically.
