javascript navigation

I have inherited a simple template, which includes a .js to control the navigation and some of the page elements.

You can see the template in action here:

we update the .js with the navigation entries. this very nicely then writes in a pageName which will be displayed on the page as well as document title, links to previous and subsequent pages and so on. However, it only does so for pages entered as part of the main navigation.

The issue is that we also have a couple of pages which are not a part of the main navigation but which link off the footer. These pages, unfortunately, show up with the title, and so on from the index page. I would like to find a way for these pages to display their own correct title and pageName.

I am not wedded to the solution which I inherited, though you may be able to help me sort it out. Or, if you know of another nice simple way to do this, I would appreciate it.

this is terrible programming, but here's a work around:

1. open nav.js

2. change line 18 from...
return 0;
...to...
return -1;

3. change line 56...
var p = PAGES[THIS_PAGE_INDEX];
...to...
if(THIS_PAGE_INDEX<0) return;
var p = PAGES[THIS_PAGE_INDEX];

4. Now edit references.html and aboutus.html to put whatever text/title you want...

That did the trick...

You're my hero.
