For applications using older themes, navigation bar entries offer an easy way to move users between application pages. The associated page template determines the location of a navigation bar. A navigation bar entry can be an image, text, or an image with text beneath it. You must supply the images and text to use in the navigation bar entries.
Navigation bars are different from other shared components in that you do not need to reference them on a page-by-page basis. If your page template includes the #NAVIGATION_BAR#
substitution string, the Application Express engine automatically includes any defined navigation bars when it renders the page.
