Hmmm.. to JavaScript my menu or not? For the sake of efficiency, I've been trying to figure out how separate my website's menu from the rest of the layout (so that I only have to update one file when I want to edit my menu) and then reintegrate the menu into my layout with code. I tried iFrames, and it looked good (!) BUT I don't know how to get around the iFrame that contains the menu opening a new webpage within

Hi! Crazy that you followed me. The progress on Chattable since I last checked it out around 2023 is huge! Is it true you're no longer developing it?

Love the site! I was just talking to someone about your site the other day inside my demo chats lol, and thank you!! I do continue to develop it but I've changed course a bit so it's not exclusively a Neocities project, it now works on any website! Some newer features won't work on free Neocities now though due to their CORS limitations.

Glad to hear that it's still in development, I just came across a website using chattable for the first time yesterday and was impressed! I'm thinking about switching over from Cbox. Amazing work!

the iFrame, LOL. So I'm trying out JavaScript to reintegrate the menu on my Links page, and it works?? But it doesn't load at the same pace as the rest of my page, which makes sense, but feels quirky and less seamless. I also have to wonder what percentage of netizens have JavaScript blocked.
I feel like your navigation menu is a pretty critical thing to require JS for. I wouldn't do it personally.
Hi! If you decide to use iframes (which are javascriptless) you can add target="_top" on each <a> tag inside your embedded document. This will make the link open at the top of the page and not inside the iframe. I hope this helps!
Thank you for the input, @zerock. I'll avoid JS for the menu. @chattable - it works! Thank you for the tip!!
