HTML Element: <nav>
[this page | pdf | back links]
The HTML <nav> element indicates navigation
links. It is new in HTML 5. It is usual not to put all navigation links inside
a <nav> element. Instead
this element is intended only for major blocks of such links (so that browsers
such as for disabled users can use this element to determine when to omit
initial rendering of content).
The attributes
it can take are HTML
global attributes and HTML event attributes.
To
create or access such an element in JavaScript
see here. The
corresponding HTML DOM
object supports standard
DOM properties and methods. The default style applicable to this element is
shown here.
