First of all, this looks like a hardcoded menu - though - using the built-in Dictionary... and by the URLs I'm guessing you have all the pages at the same level, though your menu structure seems to suggest a nested hierarchy.
Here's a direct "port" of your code - it's not utilizing the power of XSLT (traversing the tree, etc.) but I'm guessing you want to get there next:
Yes - there's lots of ways to do this dynamically. I suggest you check out the default templates that ships with Umbraco (Developer > right-click XSLT folder and create a new file - choose "List Subpage by Level" and see how that's constructed). They show how to get the URL of a page, and it's name etc.
Then come back here with any questions you have from looking into that.
top nav
I'm new to XSLT & Umbraco and wonder if some one can point me in the right direction.

I've just started working with Umbraco this week. Here's the website structure within the contents section.
I'm creating a multilingual site.
Rather than hard coding the URL within the XSLT is there a way of getting the link to the parent page.
Hi Malick,
