This basic code will allow you to add pages to your profile without needing to create html files that are hosted offsite saving you time, money and headaches. It is designed to be small and simple so it doesn't use anything fancy or any offsite code. For a slightly more advanced way, see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=115&t=9033

This logic of the code is as follows:

The content of the pages is held in divs that are hidden to the user:
Code
<div id="hidden" style="visibility:hidden">
 <div id="box1">
  <p>This is box 1 contents</p>
 </div>
 <div id="box2">
  <p>This is box 2 contents</p>
 </div>
 <div id="box3">
  <p>This is box 3 contents</p>
 </div>
 <div id="box4">
  <p>This is box 4 contents</p>
 </div>
</div>


When a user clicks on one of the links, it copies the content of one of the hidden pages and places it in the visible page:
Code
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
   <li><span onClick="document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = document.getElementById('box1').innerHTML">Page 1</span></li>
   <li><span onClick="document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = document.getElementById('box2').innerHTML">Page 2</span></li>
   <li><span onClick="document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = document.getElementById('box3').innerHTML">Page 3</span></li>
   <li><span onClick="document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = document.getElementById('box4').innerHTML">Page 4</span></li>
   <li class="last"><span onClick="document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = ''">Clear</span></li>
</ul>
</div>



Modification

To add more pages, create more divs inside of the hidden div:
Code
<div id="hidden" style="visibility:hidden">
 <div id="box1">
  <p>This is box 1 contents</p>
 </div>
 <div id="box2">
  <p>This is box 2 contents</p>
 </div>
 <div id="box3">
  <p>This is box 3 contents</p>
 </div>
 <div id="box4">
  <p>This is box 4 contents</p>
 </div>
</div>


Then add links to those pages i the navigation div:
Code
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
   <li><span onClick="document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = document.getElementById('box1').innerHTML">Page 1</span></li>
   <li><span onClick="document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = document.getElementById('box2').innerHTML">Page 2</span></li>
   <li><span onClick="document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = document.getElementById('box3').innerHTML">Page 3</span></li>
   <li><span onClick="document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = document.getElementById('box4').innerHTML">Page 4</span></li>
   <li class="last"><span onClick="document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = ''">Clear</span></li>
</ul>
</div>

Thank you so so much! This code is very easy to just slap on a page and be done with it. It saves a lot of time and energy and you don't need to do as much work as i've been used to. Just going through all these great codes that this site uses has made be become a great programmer and i'm really bettering myself and my work. Next week i'll post a bunch of new triggers i've been making with brand new meshes for cheap. Thank you for all this team's hard work into making such a great site for us all.
