Horizontal List Display

The Horizontal List Display is an inline display option built using the List Component. It presents users with new content while giving them the illusion of staying on the same page.

Our advanced authoring page will guide you through a step by step process on using a Horizontal List Display.

Example of Horizontal List Display usage

Horizontal List Example Page 1

This is the first page in the Horizontal List. If you click on the list item beside this one, it will seem as though you haven't left this page.

First, take note of the URL of this page 'example_page_1.html', then, click on the list item at the right.

When should it be used?

The Horizontal List Display can be used as one of the first components on the page, and repeated throughout your site. It affords an alternate navigation element when presenting related content without using the standard left hand navigation.
