Navigator formatting examples

You use HTML to format the layout of a navigator.

Navigator elements can have more than one element design.

Each level in the navigator can have its own element design.

If you want all the levels in your navigator to look the same, then you only have to build one element design.

If there are three levels in a site area but only two element designs in your navigator, then the last two levels in your navigator use the final element design.

The following tables contain some examples of the ways you can format the look of a navigator.

Simple two-level navigator

This example shows the basic structure of the element design used by a navigator.

Navigator result design 1 A <b> tag is added to display the text in the first level of the navigator in bold.	<b> <placeholder tag="namelink" /> </b><br>
Navigator result design 2 The second design will be repeated for every link returned by the parameters defined in the navigator element below the first level.	<placeholder tag="namelink" /> <br>

Navigator used in a rendering portlet

In this example, a URLCmpnt tag is used to create a link instead of a placeholder. This enables you to specify the name of the portal page use when viewing the links generated by the navigator:

Header	<Table>
Navigator result design 1	<tr><td> <b> <a HREF= "<URLCmpnt context="autofill" type="content" mode="portal" portalTarget="URLMap">" target="_blank"> <IDCmpnt context="autofill" field="title"> </a></b> </td></tr>
Navigator result design 2	<tr><td> <a HREF= "<URLCmpnt context="autofill" type="content" mode="portal" portalTarget="URLMap">" target="_blank"> <IDCmpnt context="autofill" field="title"> </a></td></tr>
Footer	</Table>
