I'm still trying to learn the nuances of frontpage and wanted to get
confirmation on my assumptions.
My goal is to try to have a single source for my nav links so that I
don't have to do much to change say 20 pages at one time. Part of the
problem is, I think I want to use DHTML multi-level navigation that I
don't think FP03 supports using the built in links. Just as an example.
I might have a link called "photo gallery" and that photo gallery also
have many sub-pages called "vacations", "family", "projects", etc.
Rather than have all these subpages linked as literal and fully visible
buttons on all pages, It would be better to have these sublinks appear
when you click or mouseover on the gallery button. The only other thing
I can think of is to create a separate nav bar on the gallery pages
with links to the same level pages.
First, I assume the "insert nav bar" based on the nav structure only
works well as a main nav bar across all pages when you use shared
borders. That is, you can't insert a nav bar into a standalone HTML
page and include that into all your pages via INCLUDE PAGE and still
have the links built via the internal page structure. Correct?
I'm going to assume my best option for having a multi-level nav bar is
to use a canned downloadable script that places the actual link
information in a standalone file that I can update once and using page
includes on each page. Am I missing anything?
Thanks a lot for any insight you can share.
