copied!<p>I'm having some trouble figuring out how to make the "page load" architecture of a website.</p> <p>The basic idea is, that I would use XSLT to present it but instead of doing it the classic way with the XSL tags I would do it with JavaScript. Each link should therefore refer to a JavaScript function that would change the content and menus of the page.</p> <p>The reason why I want to do it this way, is having the option of letting JavaScript dynamically show each page using the data provided in the first, initial XML file instead of making a "complete" server request for the specific page, which simply has too many downsides.</p> <p>The basic problem of that is, that after having searched the web for a solution to access the "underlying" XML of the document with JavaScript, I only find solutions to access external XML files.</p> <p>I could of course just "print" all the XML data into a JavaScript array fully declared in the document header, but I believe this would be a very, very nasty solution. And ugly, for that matter.</p> <p>My questions therefore are: </p> <ul> <li>Is it even possible to do what I'm thinking of?</li> <li>Would it be SEO-friendly to have all the website pages' content loaded initially in the XML file?</li> </ul> <p>My alternative would be to dynamically load the specific page's content using AJAX on demand. However, I find it difficult to find a way that would be the least SEO-friendly. I can't imagine that a search engine would execute any JavaScript.</p> <p>I'm very sorry if this is unclear, but it's really freaking me out.<br> Thanks in advance.</p>
