Description of problem: HTML files produced by publican 2 contain embedded javascript Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3-0.fc13 How reproducible: reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. publican publish -f html ... 2. examine produced html 3. Actual results: html contains javascript with no <noscript> alternative Expected results: Straight html Additional info: We have gotten bugs before on docs.fp.o due to the javascript in the menu. Embedding javascript into every html makes this a much more difficult problem to solve. Many users disable javascript due to security concerns. If javascript is required, there should at least be a <noscript> alternative.
The menu requires java script and a message is displayed warning the suer that the menu won't function if java script is disabled. The java script on the page is to allow the menu to track which page is loaded and render the menu in a user friendly way. "Straight html" isn't an option without reducing the menu functionality. What content should go in the noscript area?
John, we talked about this at a Fedora meeting some time ago now; I think you were confused by how a page looked in isolation when there was no navigation iframe to actually load. This has nothing to do with Javascript; if you visit a Publican-generated website with Javascript turned off, the site navigation gracefully degrades to a static navigation page without any bells and whistles. I'm closing this NOTABUG; if there's a specific problem caused by the Javascript on a docs site, please open a fresh bug and describe the specific issue. Cheers Rudi
Rudi, I agree. I should have closed this after our meeting.
