need a more elegant navigation solution

[Guest]

I know I can make nav bars in front page, but I am designing a web that will
have a large number of sub pages. I'm looking to be able to do a drop down
menu (or a side bar) that will allow me to save on real estate while having
everything readily accessable with the minimum ammount of clicks. Is this at
all possible to do with frontpage?

Hi
There are loads of navigation systems on the web here are a few I found

Here is a horizontal drop down navigation

makes vertcial and horizontal menus.

Those are nice... and more along the lines of what I was looking for.
However, I have one major caveat: Whatever I design must be easy to add to by
basically anyone, regardless of level of expertise with HTML/CSS. In other
words, I have to make it easy to change in FrontPage, so most of the stuff I
could code by hand is no good here.

Hi
I generally have main items of navigation at the top which are static and
use a list as the side navigation which is easily added to by adding another
list item.This way you can have a main navigation stucture but have a sub
navigation at the side relevent for the page you are on like this

You can set up a form with a dropdown list. Then each item on the list
is assigns a value that starts with http:// and continues to your link.
You can show as much or little of the list as you want to. You can have
more than one on a page.

Look at this page:

The DHTML program only requires you to insert the code after you have built
the menu. The program is very easy to use. I am leagally blind and first
time FP user.
and I built the menu on this page.

Oh yeah it is simple to edit after it is installed.
