filter out duplicate menu's

Post by jgdoke »

We have navigation menu's on every page that are the same for an entire product line. All of them are named the same but reside in different places. Here are a few of the 45+ places.
<script src='/appsys/left_nav/emenu.js'></script>
<script src='/automationfair/emenu.js'></script>
<script src='/certification/left_nav/emenu.js'></script>
<script src='/cig/left_nav/emenu.js'></script>
<script src='/drives/left_nav/emenu.js'></script>

Is there anyway to use the links from them but discard the text?
To see this menu in practice: http://www.ab.com/drives

The issue is that the words in the menu are becoming matches in searches.

Thanks
John

Use the keep and/or ignore tags settings to remove text from the search while keeping the urls found in the excluded areas.

Do I have to enter all 45 "tags"? I was on the phone last night and was told to enter this for one of the menu's.
Ignore tags,
begin: <script src='emenu.js'>
end: </script>

But that does not help if the source has a floder before the emenu.js part.

Is there any way to use wild cards???

Thanks

Do any scripts have text you want to keep? If not then ignore begin: <script src end: </script> will ignore all the text generated by javascript.

Or if there's some other distinct boilerplate around the whole group of menus you could key off of that instead of the scripts.
