Getting around the website

nav

The portion of the document that contains a fixed list of hyperlinks to other documents on the same website.

Although each document may have its own hyperlinks to specific documents, the nav element, by way of contrast, will have a fixed frame of reference for the visitor to move around the website.

Example

body {
    header ...
    nav {
        a `index.html`           Home
        a `three-reasons.html`   Three Reasons Why
        a `getting-started.html` Getting Started
        a `making-it-work.html`  Making it Work for You
    }
    main ...
    footer ...
}
