French term

casquette

French to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) website
I have never seen "casquette" used in this way before. It is only used once in the document.

Le site partenaire garde la casquette de navigation du site XXX.

Merci d'avance.

I thought you would say something. But you didn't. Too bad. Let me tell the world: NAVIGATION FRAME
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) May 20, 2004:
I finally figured this out: "porter la casquette"..wear the hat as in be the boss..so garder la casquette de navigation means: keep control of navigation of the XXX site. Thanx for your generosity Rita!
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) May 20, 2004:
I called a premier website designer in France, the French is very bad..he said the term per se means nothing in technical French but that it means that the XXX site window remains open once the banner is clicked on.
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) May 20, 2004:
You might think of telling us what you found given your question.

Sarahl got the meaning right away so she gets 2 points :-)
I actually found the correct term (which does not figure on this page) on my own early this morning. Thanks also to Jane and pascie!

responsible

that's all I can think of, they're still responsible, in charge of whatever. HTH
Peer comment(s):

agree Rowan Morrell : Yes, maybe in the sense that the partner site wears this particular hat (or cap, as the French is saying). Maybe you could say this is navigation is still the partner site's job or something.

disagree Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) : mais non...c'est un terme technique...nothing to do with responsibility...une casquette de navigation, c'est l'adresse IP

hat

(see to wear several hats) equivalent to have several responsabilities

header navigation

Careful with that test, Rita. There are a lot of tricks in it...one might think it is the navigation header but the received term seems to be header navigation...

also, beware of autoportant.....I think self-contained works well..

Good luck..

Here\'s the definition in ENglish....How people can come up with a person when you can see that it is a website description is beyond me.

Header Navigation Bar
This element is built into the template to provide for additional navigation and menu items. This is an optional feature that should be used only as needed.
One way to use the Header Navigation Bar in combination with the Left Navigation Bar is to organize menu items as “information for” in the header nav and “information about” in the left nav. This is how the University’s portal pages at www.sc.edu are organized.
