Got this all working. More of a bit of a brush up for me on ML style functional coding, which I have not really done for 20 years. I have spent my career almost exclusively working in Java land. The next step I think will be to take the navigation bar, and the clock widget and organize the code in such a way that the widget is a re-usable component that I can embed in the navigation bar. So far my nav bar is just HTML, and I only set up Elm to work in a separate div further down the page body. Now that I have seen the Elm Materialized Design Lite library, I think I may give that a go for doing the nav bar and putting my clock widget onto it, as it looks pretty slick. Still feeling like Elm is fantastic. Not quite got to groking the model/update part of it yet, but starting to get to grips with various ways of putting together the view. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
