The NEARDAT Website provides a different set of navigational features than most other web sites. Therefore, we have provided a brief overview of those features which may be unfamiliar. The purpose of the enhanced layout is to facilitate easier navigation while using all standard features of the web. Please report bug discoveries and all other questions or comments to support@mecf.wustl.edu.

The Navigation Frame

To access a page, just click on the name of the page and the page will appear on the frame on the right.

Clicking on any folder icon () will expand the contents of that folder. And as you might expect, a click on an expanded folder () will hide the contents.

You will notice that some links are truncated in order to preserve monitor space. To view the full name of an item place the cursor over the icon next to the name and the full title of the item will appear.

Main Navigational Icons

Move your cursor over each icon to display a short description. This "popup description" functionality is used throughout the web site to easily provide more detailed information in a compact manner.

The Home icon links to the domain's top page The Domain Outline icon will call up a map outline of the domain. The Search icon will prompt a keyword search in the domain. The Support icon links to the Support Page. The Navigation Help icon accesses this help document.
