The Navigation
section enables you to select the type of the navigation bar. There are
three types of navigation bars:

- To Frame-Content Overlays in same page navigation - for navigating through the
Frame-Content Overlays of a frame within the current page. If you select the To Frame-Content Overlays in same page
navigation bar type, you must select the frame in the Target Frame drop-down list. A special type of frame called <Current Frame> is available
in this list. It always points to the frame containing the Navigation
Bar currently being edited. A Navigation Bar pointing to <Current Frame> can be used as
a common object in Headers and Footers.
- To Bookmarks in same Frame-Content Overlay navigation - for navigating through
the bookmarks within the current Frame-Content Overlay.

and its children.

The options available in this section are based on the
type of Navigation bar you have selected in the Navigation
section.
If you have selected To Other Pages
navigation, all six options are available.
If you have selected To Frame-Content Overlays in same page
navigation, the options available are based on the Target
Frame you have chosen. If you have selected <Current Frame> as
Target Frame, then three options are available
- Siblings of the same parent, Sequence to all same level pages
and Custom - to any page or frame. Otherwise only two options
- Siblings of the same parent and Custom - to any page or frame
- are available.
If you have selected To Bookmarks in same Frame-Content Overlay
navigation, only the Siblings of the same parent option is available.
Note that if the pages are not available in the Logical Layout, the NavBar will be inserted empty.
