In-page navigation or Site navigation?












0















What is the best approach for creating a website with multiple page navigation. I've done both in the past but i dont know with one is better.



In-page navigation:



<nav>
<a href="#home">Home</a>
<a href="#products">Products</a>
<a href="#about">About Us</a>
</nav>
<div id="home">
...
</div>
<div id="products">
...
</div>
<div id="about">
...
</div>


You can have multiple divs and hide them and show them using css when each link is active.



Site navigation:



<nav>
<a href="index.html">Home</a>
<a href="products.html">Products</a>
<a href="about.html">About Us</a>
</nav>


You have multiple html files and you just redirect to them.



I think the most common way to do it is the second way, but if you dont use a server side code processor/compiler/library you will need to duplicate the layout(is this example just the nav but can be more).



Which one should i use for a simple website, different sections or different pages?
