JavaScript
Due to this website being a static site, JavaScript is used to create dynamic and interactive components of this site. Here is a list of how JavaScript is used on this site:
- The header of every page uses JavaScript to detect the visitor's current date, so the header will display a top blurb and in some cases also changes the header background on certain dates, including:
- LGBTQ+ events, International Women's Day, Disability Pride Month, website anniversary and my birthday;
- Release anniversaries of media with dedicated shrines, including:
- Birthdays of characters from {% cite "A Summer’s End — Hong Kong 1986" %} on its shrine.
- When this site is viewed on mobile devices, the navigation bar's hamburger menu uses JavaScript to enable using the Escape key to close the navigation manu.
- Scott O'Hara's ARIA Tooltips script is used to implement accessible tooltips that meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 success criterion for 1.4.13: Content on Hover or Focus (Level AA).
- Zach Leatherman's details-utils JavaScript package is used to automatically expand sidebar table of contents on wide screens.
- status.cafe widget, which is placed on the home page, uses JavaScript to fetch data of my latest status update.
- Website Carbon Badge, which is placed on the home page, uses JavaScript to calculate the carbon footprint of this website.
- Links page's Websites tab includes webring widgets that use JavaScript.
- Guestbook uses JavaScript to render a form, send form data to my private Discord channel via Discord webhook, and fetch data from Google Sheets to display messages on the web page (guestbook code by Vera Konigin).
You can still access most of the content of this site with JavaScript disabled, but the above components will not work as intended.
