Header

Header

To standardize the process of finding information on web sites that reside on IHS Headquarters servers, the header navigation "include" statement listed below is to be included on all web pages. To determine if a page may be an exception, please e-mail webmaster@ihs.gov. Web sites that reside on other IHS servers are encouraged to use a similar format.

The navigation bar is processed on the server prior to the web browser receiving the page. This works with all browsers. However, the navigation bar does require the web server to do the processing. When designing a web site, the navigation bar is not visible until the pages are moved to the IHS Development server.

Standards

The "include" statement for the header navigation bar for pages on the IHS Internet server should be placed immediately following the <BODY> tag.

Example for .ASP, .HTM, or .HTML filename extensions:

<BODY>

Example for .CFM (ColdFusion) filename extension:
<BODY>

CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="/GeneralWeb/WebComponents/Navigation/NavBars/navigation.cfm"
