Hi Leif,
Yours is indeed a cool solution, but it's not the only solution. The
solution I use is to invoke a very short javascript file, and it's that
javascript file that gets changed. For instance, here's
Troubleshooters.Com's monthfea.js file for November 2015 (sorry for
the email wrap):
<!-- //HIDE FROM NON-JAVASCRIPT BROWSERS
=======================================================
function loaddiv()
{
elm = document.getElementById('monthfea');
line1='<p class="monthfea">November 2015 featured book:</p>';
line2='<p class="monthfea"><a
href="http://www.troubleshooters.com/bookstore/ttech.htm";>Troubleshooting
Techniques<br/>of the Successful Technologist</a></p>';
elm.innerHTML=line1+line2;
}
//-->
=======================================================
And the following is how it's used on the home page and about 15 other
pages (sorry for the email wrap):
=======================================================
<div class="monthfea" id="monthfea">
<p class="monthfea">See the <a
href="http://www.troubleshooters.com/bookstore/";>Troubleshooters.Com
Bookstore</a>.</p> </div>
=======================================================
You can see the end result in the yellow box titled "Featured book"
near the top of http://www.troubleshooters.com/
Your way avoids Google's downgrading caused by external javascript. My
way removes the text the person edits into its own file and enables
multiple web pages to be modified by changing that one file. I think
what I did could be better accomplished by server side includes, but
I wasn't sure my web host would work with server side includes.
