My site has a global-navigation header, with links to 5 sections of the site.
I highlight the section that the viewer is currently viewing in the global header. Other than the highlighting, the header is the same on every page of the site. Then I also have a "local" navigation that shows different links based on what global section is being viewed. Finally, each page has its own set of buttons and forms that govern how that particular page works. For example, my global nav for a newspaper site might be WEATHER, SPORTS, NATIONAL, and LOCAL. Then if the person is looking at WEATHER, the local nav might be HISTORICAL and FORECAST. On the FORECAST view, I might allow choices of 3-day forecast and 10- day forecast. Right now, to make all this happen, I'm using lots of homemade widgets and config files. The system all works fine, but it ain't awesome, and it certainly is not easy to explain to another developer when I want them to make a change I suspect that a lot of sites have funky navigation systems. Is there any standard solution? At the heart, I would like to define a tree data structure in a config file or a database table and then let the code parse it all, doing all the right highlighting.
