Re: navigation bar question

Julie:

Two or three things come to mind to keep your links visible.

1. Repeat the links. Granted--kind of tacky.

2. Shorten the page. General thought is that any content large
enough to fill more than two screens should be spread over
several pages.

3. Go to the use of "Frames". Although many of us are not "big"
on frames, this IS one of the main reasons frames are used. The
"frame" on the left simply sits there as the main frame scrolls.

Many find frames confusing but these days, it is simple to use
the wizards in programs like DreamWeaver or FrontPage to set them
up.
