I don't have any problem having the navigation in a column (although I prefer the horizontal nav bar). I'm only asking for good examples of horizontal primary nav bar combined with a detached vertical secondary bar, as you are proposing for wgo. In http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/default.stm there is a bbc.co.uk horizontal nav bar at the top (the equivalent to our General nav bar) and then a BBC News primary nav bar in the left column that spans sections one you click at them (showing the BBC News secondary navigation). You have an example at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/your_money/default.stm where "Business" is the section in the primary nav bar and "Your Money" is the page selected from the secondary nav bar. There are many examples of websites with General + primary + secondary bars displayed horizontally in a header, it's just a magtter of working efficiently with the look&feel. http://www.apple.com/education/ http://youtube.com/ http://news.yahoo.com/i/1363;_ylt=ArVlJuebfr4rqEXGz1Ss2EELMxIF;_ylu=X3oDMTA2MnU4czRtBHNlYwNzbg-- http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/americas/09/13/montreal.shooting/index.html etc This system gives you more freedom to play with the content underneath the header, easing also fluid pages and small resolutions (in a Nokia 770 you end up hating vertical nav bars you barely use and they eat your screen). -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://pinguino.tv
