Navigation A web site with good navigation
always lets the user know three things:
- Where Am I?
- Where Have I Been?
- Where Can I Go From Here?
This site uses a small blue navigation bar at the top of
each page. For example, at the top of this page you see this line.
The links on the left side of the navigation bar
change from page to page. They record your path to the page. The items on the
right side of the small navigation bar are the same on all pages. Search
allows you to find all the pages that contain a word you enter.Help
opens the first page of this tutorial. Comments allows you to send
mail to the webmaster. Site map helps you search the book for specific
information.as described below.
The page name of the current
page will always be the last in the page path. It answers the question
"Where Am I". You are reading "Navigation".
The page names to the left of the current page in the small
navigation bar record your path to the page. To return to a previous page click
on the page name. To go back to the starting page of the tutorial click on
Help Using This Site.
Some chapters have more than one page of related
information. The first page of the chapter will give you a list of additional
pages to which you can navigate. This is the Where Can I Go From Here.
The links to these pages are presented as a list usually to the right or under
the page title.
Some pages also have a small navigation bar at the
bottom of the page. This bar allows you to easily select other pages in the
same chapter without going back to the chapter page.
When the next page represents a continuation of the
current page, the bottom of the page has a Next page link.
