Hello fine people of DT,

I am writing a little .js file that looks for the pathname in order to show an <ul> conditionally. Here's how I am trying this:

var checkUrl = document.location.pathname.toLowerCase();
switch (checkUrl) {
  case '/root/documentA.html': $('.classname').show(); break;
  case '/root/documentB.html': $('.classname').show(); break;
  ...
}

At this time I have at least 60 different cases (different document names).

My question is: is there a more efficient way of dealing with this without touching the markup (Meaning only using the external .js file) ?

Thanks a lot.

What?

<ul>
	<li class="predoctorale-mandaten main-item"><h2><a class="section-nav" href="Predoctorale-mandaten.aspx">Predoctorale mandaten</a></h2>
		<ul class="subnav">
			<li class="aspirant"><a href="Aspirant.aspx">Aspirant</a></li>
			<li class="bijzondere-doctoraatsbeurs"><a href="Bijzondere-doctoraatsbeurs.aspx">Bijzondere doctoraatsbeurs</a></li>
			<li class="klinische-doctoraatsbeurs"><a href="Klinische-doctoraatsbeurs.aspx">Klinische doctoraatsbeurs</a></li>
			<li class="predoctorale-mandaten-info"><a href="Predoctorale-mandaten-info.aspx">Informatie en formulieren</a></li>
			<li class="faq"><a href="Faq-Predoctorale-mandaten.aspx">Faq</a></li>
		</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

The hyperlinks are the pages where the .subnav of '.predoctorale-mandaten' need to be shown.

Hope this bit clears it up a little. If not I'll post a live example.
