As previously mentioned, one of the main purposes of the navbar is to keep
things consistent, so that when I do things like change the "Web
Read" button to point to the permanent archives at
http://www.phoenyx.net/// instead of
http://www.phoenyx.net//mhonarc you don't all have to change
your web pages. (Nobody was pointing directly at the mhonarc directories,
were they? Those are no longer being updated, and will stop working (or
be directed to the 2000 index or something) Real Soon Now.)
For those times when you want to put a direct link in (say, you are
talking on a web page about the web archives, and you'd rather put a link
in the text than say "Go to this page and click 'web read' on the
navbar"), you can call the navbar script directly without actually showing
the navbar. The script will handle redirecting the request just like
clicking on the navbar would, and you don't have to worry about where "web
read" points this week (especially since it now is dynamically calculated,
and will point to your most recent entries).
To see the various commands, look at the Lynx-version nav menu:
http://www.phoenyx.net/cgi-bin/navbar/go/listowners
(substitute your own groupname where applicable) and view the source to
see what the links are for the commands you want to call. For instance,
web read for the listowners list would be
http://www.phoenyx.net/cgi-bin/navbar/call=web_read/listowners
