Hi All, 
 
 I don't know if this is the right list to post this on and my 
question is not really a big theoretical thing, it's just really 
quirky...

 Anyway, I was updating parts of my site on the weekend and I was 
playing with the navigation bar... I started with frames and moved 
towards using a table... Anyway, at first I placed the navbar at the 
right of the screen in both the frames and tables, but eventually 
settled on placing the bar to the left...

 Anyway, yesterday I was surfing the web going to different sites and 
I noticed that a lot of people including myself seem to place the 
navbar to the left... I guess what I'm trying to get at is why? I 
mean do people place navbars/links because of habit, convenience or is 
there an actual reason for doing it... (design-wise)

 I figure it has to do with the fact the it might be more logical or 
less stressful for the eyes... Any insights?

Dave
