Inserting a navigation bar on all pages

I have just managed to contruct a navigation bar with a drop down menu - how
do I insert this at the same point on every page? Is this possiblòe?

You should be able to use the shared borders section and post the html code
where you want the nav bar. Once you have it in the shared borders section
make sure you select "All pages" versus "One Page." (The shared borders
section is under Format/ Shared Borders)

Hope that helps.

Depends on the menu you are inserting.
All three examples I gave you will work perfectly if paced on a
Dynamic Web Template, and this is attached to your pages. IMO this is
the best way.
The menu from http://www.interlacken.com can be inserted into a
shared border, or better an include file, and the file included where
required. The JavaScript behind the behaviours will automatically be
created in the pages, though each page may have to be opened and
saved.

Jon Spivey's menu has JavaScript that will not automatically go into
the <head> section of the pages unless you use a DWT. For this menu,
all the JavaScript in the <head> section of the page you have created
the menu must be copied into every other page.

The all CSS menu requires a line similar to
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="rxsclass.css"> to be
placed in the <head> of every page, where rxsclass.css is the name
given to the file containg the CSS.

Hi Ronx,
you mean put the top header and navigation bar in a frame and insert that as
one page on all the pages as a shared border?

DO NOT use frames. The dropdowns will not cross the frame boundaries,
and will be lost to sight.
Put the top header and navigation bar in a page, and insert that page
on all the pages as an include page.

See FrontPage Help - look for "Included Content" (without the quotes),
and click the article
"Add an Included Content Web component to a Web page"
Also look at Dynamic Web Template in the help.

Hello,
well - you've definately put me off frames! Will the drop down not be
effected by the DWT - I have saved it as such and should now insert it on all
the pages but want to make sure it won't be totally pooped with the drop
downs being hidden somewehere.
I do have other inline frames in my wesite - is it best to avoid them all
together - are DWT's a better option - more ecent imnprovment on inline
frames?

Thanks ever so much for all your help so far - you've been great,
JacquieCC
