Adaptive Path Navigation
Just wanted to note this. We vetted the reasons why we can’t use a horizontal menu bar at the secondary, or departmental level navigation.
Anyway, I was looking at this essay seven resolutions for 2004 and noticed how nice their navigation is… wishing we could somehow build and/or enforce a stricter sense of IA on dept sites so we could use a horizontal menu bar.
And that’s the only reason I link to their site really, not just to read the essay although it’s good, but mostly to just have everyone gaze at the navigation.
