Nav

Struct Nav 

Source
pub struct Nav;
Expand description

The <nav> element - navigation links.

§Purpose

The <nav> element represents a section of a page that contains navigation links, either within the current document or to other documents. Not all groups of links need to be in a <nav> element—only sections that consist of major navigation blocks.

§Content Categories

  • Flow Content
  • Sectioning Content
  • Palpable Content

§Permitted Content Model

  • Flow content (but not <main> element)

§Common Use Cases

  • Primary site navigation (header menu)
  • Table of contents
  • Pagination controls
  • Breadcrumb navigation
  • Footer site links

§Key Attributes

  • Global attributes only
  • aria-label: Distinguishes multiple nav elements on same page

§Example

<nav aria-label="Main navigation">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="/about">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="/products">Products</a></li>
    <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

§Accessibility

  • Screen readers provide shortcuts to navigate to <nav> landmarks
  • Use aria-label or aria-labelledby when multiple navs exist
  • Not every group of links needs to be in <nav>
