| Page Banners & Navigation Bar A Page
Banner is a quick way to add titles to your pages. A navigation
bar is a set of hyperlinks used for navigating a Web site.

Before you create your Page Banner and
Navigation Bars, you need to set up a Navigation Structure of
your web first.
Part I : Navigation Structure
The following example shows a navigation structure of
a web.

1. On the View menu, select Navigation.
You will see a navigation view. You may have nothing in it yet.
2. On the toolbar, click Folder List button
.
Now you have Folder List on the left hand side and Navigation
Structure on the right hand side. See the following picture

3. Now drag a file in the Folder List to the position
in the Navigation Structure where you want it. If you don't have any
file in the Folder List, just create some new pages and save them.
4. Your final Navigation Structure should look like
the following. To change the title of a page, right click the page and
select Rename. To delete a page, right click the page and select
Delete.

5. Double click any page in the Navigation
Structure. This will take you to the Page view.
Part II : Insert a Page Banner
1. Position the mouse pointer on the top of the
page. On the Insert menu, select Page Banner. That's
it! If you want to change the title of the banner, double click the
banner and change the title.
Part III: Insert a Navigation Bar
1. Position the insertion point where you want to
place the navigation bar. On the Insert menu, select
Navigation Bar. The Navigation Bar Properties dialog is
displayed.
(For FrontPage 2002&2003 users: On the Insert
menu, click Navigation. Select Bar based on navigation
structure or other options. Click Next . When finished, the
Navigation Bar Properties dialog is displayed. )

2. In order to understand the Navigation Bar
Properties, we need to take a look at the Navigation Structure
picture again.

Home Page: This
page is the first page added to a navigation structure, typically named
index.htm, and is indicated by
.
Top-Level Pages:
"FAQ" and "Contact Us" are the top-level pages (Not including "Home")
Child-Level Pages: "Company Info", "Products",
and "Support" are the child-level pages of "Home". "Products" also has
two child-level pages. "Contact Us" has one.
Parent-Level Pages: Include the parent page of
another page, plus pages that are directly connected to the parent page
on the same level. For example, the parent-level pages for "Company
Info" are "Home" (parent page), "FAQ", and "Contact Us". The
parent-level pages for "Music CD" are "Company Info", "Products" (parent
page), and "Support". However, "Job" is not included because it is not
connected to "Products".
Same-Level Pages: Include pages that are on
the same level and have the same parent page. For example, "Company",
"Products", and "Support" are same level, but "Job" is not because it
has a different parent page.
Back and Next:
This is for browsing a sequence of same level pages. For example, the
next page of "Company Info" is "Products". The previous page of
"Contact Us" is "FAQ".
The rest of features in the Navigation Bar
Properties are pretty self-explanatory. Practice for a while before
building your website. |
