Nav Bar Problem

Hi,

A thank you to anyone who makes an attempt to figure this one out. I know it sounds confusing...

My site has a left side nav bar which opens the site's content in the main frame. The nav buttons are color coded to the page it opens (part of the button graphic will change from grey (unactive) to green (active). All the buttons work fine except for one thing. In a couple of pages there are html links which take you to other pages in my site. For instance, I have nav buttons for &quot;About Me&quot; and &quot;Services&quot;. In the &quot;About Me&quot; page it reads &quot;click here for a full list of <services> (<services> is a link to my services page).

The link works fine. But when the services' page opens from the html link, the services' button remains unactive, and the &quot;About Me&quot; button remains active (indicating that you should be in the About Me page when you're actually in Services.

Is there a way to control the nav bar buttons from the main frame?

thanks
 
Hi TigerGirl,
(Intriguing name I must say)

Why couldn't you have a separate nav bar for those other pages that open (services and About Me)?

Whenever you click &quot;About Me&quot; for instance... it would change the main frame to the &quot;About Me&quot; content and change the nav bar frame as well to a nev bar which shows the About Me&quot; button colored green.

There may be a way in javascript to do this.... I do most of my work in flash... I am not a javascript guru.

This would be an easy way to fix the problem.

If I think of anything else I will let you know.
 
(I agree with TJ nice name.)

It sounds like there is a reference problem. Is ther any chance of getting a link to this ?? It would make the problem easier to solve.
