 navList.addElement(new Li(new A("Home", "/")));
 navList.addElement(new Li(new A("Products", "/products")));
 navList.addElement(new Li(new A("About", "/about")));
 navList.addElement(new Li(new A("Contact", "/contact")));
 mainNav.addElement(navList);

 // Create a sidebar navigation
 Nav sideNav = new Nav();
