SITE HELP
Site Navigation: Home Page
On the home page, navigation is segmented in
four ways:

1. Utility Navigation
The Utility Navigation is located in the
upper right of the page interface, and is
available from every top-level page on
CBPP's Web site. These are resources that
can be used to find people, places, and
specific pages.
2. Audience Navigation
The Audience Navigation combines
information, resources, and links into
collections aimed at specific audiences. For
instance, a prospective student would expect
to find links to specific department links
under the Department listing audience page.
Audience navigation is presented on the home
page as a row of drop down menus.
3. Page Crumbs
The Page Crumbs provide information about
where you have moved within the web site and
display an active link path for a return to
any previously visited pages. 4.
Department Navigation
The Department Navigation provides
information for successful navigation to the
main areas of interest for the specific
department. 5. Quick Links
The Quick Links provide for quick navigation
to specific links found to be high volume
visitor navigation pages. These links
are important to the visitor who wishes to
jump to specific pages housed on non CBPP
servers.
6. Content Navigation
Below the page splash graphics and on the
left of the page are the most commonly
requested site locations that don't belong
to a particular audience. These items are
presented in list form throughout the site,
and expand to reveal submenu items—when
required—once a navigation item has been
selected.
7. Footer Navigation
Footer Navigation items are available on
every page, at the very bottom, and gives
quick access to less frequently used (but
important nevertheless) items such as CBPP's
privacy policy and accessibility
information. A "Contact Us" link is also
reliably found in the footer navigation so
that at any time, a user can submit a
question to CBPP's administration.
Site Navigation: Sub-pages
Once a user has selected an area within the
Audience Navigation, the audience navigation
disappears with the expectation that users
will move beyond CBPP's top-level site to
pursue information more central to their
immediate needs.
On all sub-pages (below the home page), the
Content Navigation is available on the left
side of the page.
Additionally, you can always return to the
home page by clicking the CBPP logotype in
the upper left corner of the page. And below
the page image montage, you can find a
"crumb trail" that shows you the most direct
path from the home page to the page that
you're currently viewing. Note that the
Utility Navigation and Footer Navigation
will always remain in their same locations.
Getting Help
As with any Web site, there comes an
occasional need to contact the individuals
responsible for the content or technical
aspects of the site. The Contact Us link in
the footer of every page leads to a form
that allows you to direct correspondence to
an appropriate administrator, who will
attend to your inquiry in a timely fashion.
It is important to emphasize that selecting
a specific topic area (first item in the
contact form) will greatly speed the
response to your note. Technical concerns
should be directed to the Site
Administrator.
Site Requirements
The technical requirements of this site will
cause problems for users who are not
accessing the Web with a standards-compliant
browser. The CBPP Web presence was designed
with fairly strict adherence to W3C
specifications, and with accessibility in
mind.
For optimum use, we recommend using a
standards-compliant browser, that renders
HTML and CSS according to W3C
specifications. These browsers include, but
are not limited to Netscape 7.2 and newer,
Internet Explorer 5.5 and newer, Apple's
Safari, and all builds of Mozilla. These
browsers have passed quality assurance tests
on all contemporary Macintosh and Windows
operating systems. Mozilla is also available
for Unix users, and Linux users can rely on
Netscape, Mozilla, and Konqueror.
