Why should you group links? Simple because it adds structure and semantics to your web pages. Plus semantic navigation helps your users with disabilities navigate thru your web pages with ease.
In-order to indicate part of a web page for navigation you will need to use the new HTML5 <nav> element. The <nav>
element represents a section of a web page that links to other web
pages or to parts within the web page itself; that contains, a section
of navigation links.
You should take note that not all groups of links should be wrapped in a <nav> element, only sections of the web page that consists of major navigation blocks are suitable for the <nav>
element. For example the main navigation, table of contents, beadcrumb
navigation and pagination in my opinion would be suitable candidates for the <nav> element.
The <nav> element also requires an end tag, for example </nav>. You are allowed to have more then one <nav> element on a web page.
Another thing to remember is that the <nav> element cannot appear as a descendant of the <address> element, in-other words you cannot place a <nav> element inside the <address> element.
The <nav> element can contain the flow and phrasing element's, like for instance the <a>, <h1> and <h6> element's.
The <nav>
element is allowed to use any global attribute, you can learn more
about global attributes and how to use them in an earlier tutorial that I
wrote called "What The Heck Are Global Attributes In HTML?".
Here is how to code the <nav> element for HTML5.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Welcome To HTML5</title> </head> <body> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="home.php">Home</a></li> <li><a href="categories.php">Categories</a></li> <li><a href="articles.php">Articles</a></li> <li><a href="members.php">Members</a></li> <li><a href="about.php">About Us</a></li> </ul> </nav> </body> </html>
And here is how to code the <nav> element for XHTML5.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <title>Welcome To XHTML5</title> </head> <body> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="home.php">Home</a></li> <li><a href="categories.php">Categories</a></li> <li><a href="articles.php">Articles</a></li> <li><a href="members.php">Members</a></li> <li><a href="about.php">About Us</a></li> </ul> </nav> </body> </html>
