How to Navigate Within a Chapter

Printable Version

Inside each chapter, there are many ways for each user to navigate among its various parts. The chapter’s table of contents, which is displayed in column format on the far left-hand side of the page, is probably one of the most powerful ways to navigate. A single mouse click on any one of the entries in this table of contents will transfer the user to the first page of that chapter section. The user can always determine his/her current location within the chapter by looking at the side-bar table of contents: the chapter section within which the user is currently located will appear as the only depressed button within the table of contents.

As the user proceeds through the pages that make up any particular chapter section, a header near the upper left-hand corner of the page will identify the current chapter section, the current page number, and the total number of pages within the chapter section. On the left side of this header is a hyperlink, identified with the word “Home”, that will take the user back to the beginning page of the chapter section whenever it is pressed. Near the bottom right-hand edge of each page are two hyperlinks, [Back] and [Continue], that will move the user, respectively, to the previous page or to the next page of the chapter section. On the first page of each chapter section, the [Back] hyperlink will transfer the user to the first page of the previous chapter section, or to the home page of the HCMAG if the current chapter section is also the first section of the chapter. On the last page of each chapter section, the [Continue] hyperlink will transfer the user to the first page of the next chapter section, or to the first page of the next chapter if the current chapter section is also the last section of the chapter.

The chapter table of contents, located on the left-hand side of each chapter page, also includes hyperlinks to a few other locations that might be of regular interest to the user.
