What is the best method to include a manual navigation bar in a page header? What are the pros and cons of this? The book that I have in process in Sigil Epub 2.0 coding has many cross-references and in order to make navigation easier for the user, I would like to have a navigation bar at each section that goes directly to a summary Table of Contents, detail Table of Contents, the Index, and References. My development EPUB reader is Akido for Android. The code that I used to implement this is below, but I am wondering if there are better examples or opinions on adding this into a EPUB book, i.e. - duplication of features, other solutions, interference with a broader range of readers.
Navigation bar at start of page-sections -
<p class="navBar"><a href="../Text/TOC.xhtml">Seasons</a>
<a href="../Text/TOD.xhtml">Days</a> <a href="../Text/Index.xhtml">Index</a> <a href="../Text/References.xhtml">References</a></p>
CSS file entry -
.navBar{color: white; a:link{color:white}; a:visited{color:green}; background-color: aqua; font-size: 0.9em; text-align: left;}
