script-only calendar
Reported by Kiwaiti | August 5th, 2009 @ 07:38 AM | in emergencyPants 1.2.0 - Dr. Henry Killinger and his Magic Murder Bag
The new comicNavCal may look nice to you, but it lacks features the old version had, specifically:
- being rendered with scripts disabled - in fact, it requires off-site scripts to be enabled, which I have yet to see a valid argument for
- displaying visited links in a distinct "vlink" color, showing how far I've last read, in case I don't come by every single day (in fact, there was always limited reliability due to mixed use of "sluggy.com" and "www.sluggy.com" addresses)
<div id="comicNavCalContainer">PUT OLD CALENDER TABLE HERE</div>

It's not a permanent issue. On my list for the next release is a static calendar version. It will be back along with the new Weekly view option :)
I like the idea of tracking what days you've visited though, we'll take a look at doing this.
We DEFINITELY aren't leaving out a static calendar option; it's a requirement within the next few weeks to make sure the site 'fails gracefully' in the face of no javascript. It works for the dropdown and nav buttons, just need to handle the menus and calendar.
As for putting it in the div, the proper way to handle it is a noscript tag. Browsers who don't know the tag will ignore it, browsers with javascript deliberately disabled will "ignore" it.
