1) don't put your nav bar in the shared border - put in the page
2) create a page w/ just your nav list (from your left frame) and include it on all the pages w/ results

| I am still not sure how to apply your suggestion. I have a "Results" page

| results pages (one for each game). Clearly a one to many. Both Index page and
| all results pages are contained within the results page.
| As I understand it an "Include" page is one that you insert into another
| page. Are you saying create an Include page that contains (local) navigation,
| banner, header etc and then Include that into each results page? Seems a**se
| about face! But I tried it and I lose all my theme stuff that's used by the
| rest of the site (banner, horizontal navigation, global navigation etc). It
| just adds the html of the included page to the bottom of my results page so
| layout is pretty useless as is and will take some work to make good. I guess
| I could then use this as a page template, but I can't re-establish my theme
| on this page! Urgggh.
| I'll go take a look at ASP and Access.
