In Dashcode, with iPhone webkit, how to add a new page?

Question

I'm working on a website for iphone using dashcode. But i don't know how to add a new html page to the 'site'. I could use stackLayout but it takes so much time to load the 'index.html' since it has all the stackLayout's views in it.

enlightenment needed :)

Answer 1

rather than adding a new html page you could split the existing index.html into "pages" with each page in a and then use the javascript to manipulate the visibility of the divs.

so the javascript looks like this

  function hide_me(el) { 
if(document.getElementById(el)) {
    if(document.getElementById(el).style.display != "none") 
    document.getElementById(el).style.display = "none";
}

} function show_me(el) { if(document.getElementById(el)) { if(document.getElementById(el).style.display == "none") document.getElementById(el).style.display = "block"; } }

then in the html

   <ul>
     <li><a href="javascript:
   show_me('one');
   hide_me('two');
   hide_me('three');
        etc......
     </li>
  </ul>

and further down the index.html

        <div class="mainContent" id="one">
        <!-- generated html -->
        <table>
            <tbody>
                <tr class="head">
                    <td class="item" colspan="2">
                        CHMOD
                    </td>
                </tr>
         etc .....
     </table>
     </div>

This way the load is all taken when the widget is fired up and therafter you just display the divs as opposed to having to load them

Actually the problem is that there is no way to add a new page to the dashcode. Though the solution you specified works but what if we really want to load a new page. I didnt find any answer on google. So does that mean to create everynew page we have to create a new project each time? Its been just my second day in iPhone web app development and i am still trying to understand why is that the case.

Click:

FILE > NEW > FILE

Then, rename the file to "whatever.html"
You're welcome!
