Hi

If i am understanding what you are trying to do then this is one method - hopefully it is self explanatory:

Note I did not alter the alignment etc to match the original navbar menu. You will also have to maintain this menu bar separately from the rest of the pages.

John, thanks for helping, that's exactly what I tried to do yesterday; that works on test sites using templates, but it screws up the links from the parent page in my setup. My parent Gallery page links to three sub Art pages by using animated images instead of the navigation bar, (at least that's what I want, I don't want the links on the Gallery or other Navbars on that upper level.) When I make the sub Art page bars a new copy and edit them like you showed the parent Gallery page no longer links to it through the linked images, even though they show in the link to page dialog. The three buttons in the Gallery page MouseOff trigger actions in the MouseOver so that when I hover over one the other two buttons grey out. It worked fine until I did the art page bar copy and replaced and edited their bars. I couldn't delete the original Art bars because it deleted the upper ones too, even though I have the Site Nave Bar unchecked, so I hid the old bar on those sub pages and locked them. I'll take a screen shot of that Gallery page and attach it so you can see what I have set up after I did this test. I think the problem is something to do with the effects I have set up with the MouseOver group?

I'm thinking that what I will have to do is set up the lower pages as sub domains so that they will each have their own index and own Navigation Bars if the Site Nav option isn't able to do this.

John: I attached screen shots of the layers set up that works the way it is before trying to replace the nav bars on the art pages. The two screen shots show the blank work table with no hover, and hover over the 2d Art button. The layers shots show how this is set up when it works but I can't change the nav bars on the art pages to not show some of the upper pages I don't want and I can't change the upper page nav bars to not show the lower art pages that link from the buttons. I'll have to attach these one at a time.

This shows a hover over the 2d Art button which populates the table with items and greys out the other two buttons and when clicked links to the 2d Art page.

I hope you can help with this... maybe it's something about the way I have the layers worked out? If I change the art page bars with edited copies I have to hide the original bar and lock it. If I delete the old bar it deletes it on the upper pages as well. But when I hide and disable it, the Gallery buttons no longer grey out or work showing desk top items populated. Something is wrong.

Here's the layer showing the Mouse Off section

I created a simplified site if anyone wants to try fixing this, it's self explanatory, but I can't upload the web file.

Also, on the simplified site I tried the duplicate nav bar, edit and hide/lock the original one and the site doesn't work right because I can't disable the shadow mouse on layer original bar files or disable them.

Not much help here, but thanks. I'm going to forget about trying to make the horizontal NavBars work. I can use NavBar buttons separately where I need them instead. Disappointed that the Site NavBar function doesn't seem to work properly.

Hi

Apologies for the delay in replying, I have been pulling apart what you are trying to do and the best solution as you cannot get the navbar method I posted to work correctly, is to use independent links rather then a navbar on the Gallery page for the sub galleries.

I have also tested integrating a program I use ( jAlbum ), specifically for image and video galleries, however it requires a lot of work modifying the templates to match the rest of the site.
