Formatting the Top Header

The AWMS interface centers around a horizontal row of tabs corresponding to high level components, with
nested subtabs pertaining to relevant information and features within that component. Above the component
tabs reside a row of statistics hyperlinks representing many commonly used subtabs. These hyperlinks provide two
things: an ability to view certain key statistics by mousing over, such as number and type of Down devices (Fat
APs, switches for example), and a short cut to certain frequently viewed subtabs. Clicking the Down hyperlink is
the same as clicking APs/Devices > Down, to use the same example.
