E-Books for you

Here is how
the ShowAll page should look now:

This is already closer to a real life application, but all those "quick and dirty" links
that connect pages to each other are not a proper means for navigation. We need a
navigation menu.
Adding a Navigation Menu
Let me admit from the very beginning that I am not going to show a production
quality menu. That would require a serious use of styles, and I don't want to create
such a distraction for you. We are going to use a simple table for layout, and a set of
links. This will provide a decent foundation, and you can add any kind of styling to
it when you have time.
All work will concentrate on the Border component template. Here is what we want
to see when the application is rendered on the AddCelebrity page:

And here are the additions to the Border.tml template that we need to make to
achieve this:



href="${asset:context:/assets/styles.css}"
type="text/css"/>

align="middle"/>

${localeLabel}

Now we can easily navigate from page to page, although we shall not be able to see
the ShowAll page until we log in properly.
