index.html / page JavaScript communication #350

Open jannejava opened 12 years ago

jannejava commented 12 years ago

(was: index.html highlights current page?)

Is it possible to highlight the current page in the nav-menu somehow?

I read there is no way to communicate via Javascript between the page and nav, but is there a an other way?

folletto commented 12 years ago

You could use JavaScript and localStorage to achieve that, but I'm not sure it could work and it's still quite a hack. But this is a good feature request, I marked it as "Feature".

Thanks. :)

jannejava commented 12 years ago

Thanks for prompt reply!

I will look in to localStorage.

If current page and index.html could communciate for example via Javascript it would be possible, as well as center the index.html to the current page.

  1. Centering on the page is something we are not going to do, but you can create a transparent page with centered elements in it. :)
  2. Yes, you're correct. This issue now is tracking the development of that feature. :)

  1. Sorry I am not following here. :-) For example, if you are on page 45 in the app, double tap and open nav/index.html for the first time you only see thumbnails for pages 1 to maybee 10 and it's not clear where you really are in the "book". Can I solve this with a transparent page?

Anyway it's a great project. :-) As I said highlighting current page will be a very nice feature.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood "as well as center the index.html to the current page", I thought you were talking about "centering visually the content of the index" instead of having as you have now a bar that covers the whole width of the page.

Nothing to add then. :)

Jannejava, were you able resolve this issue...? I just posted a similar question.

jannejava commented 12 years ago

No I didn't have time to investigate this further. The developers seems to have this feature in their plans...

Given the request from Issue #502, the features this bridge should implement are:

  1. Giving to the JavaScript in index the informations about which page is currently loaded.
  2. Give the ability to programmatically open/close the index.
  3. Give a communication channel of some kind between the two (i.e. to start/stop a music).
