Background documentationcontextNavNode Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Exposes a navigation node launched by the most recent navigation or the one to which theNavigationContext parameter points.

The node is in most cases the same as the one exposed by the selectedNavNode and/or launchedNavNode tags, but may be different.

For example, in the absence of NavigationContext, when the user selects a folder node, the portal launches in the content area the first child node in the folder. The folder node is exposed by the selectedNavNode tag, the launched iView, or page node is exposed by the launchedNavNode tag, and the navigation links in the navigation iViews are highlighted according to the launched node.

When the NavigationContext parameter is specified, the launched node is displayed in the content area, and the navigation links in the navigation iViews are highlighted according to the context node.
