Browser tested: IE and FF
placement: Div goes wherever you want it, main code goes in Global footer.

Moves the navigation bar above the boards to anywhere you want them to be in a new "ladder style" format.

Put a DIV tag anywhere you want the navbar to end up:


<div id="nvtree"></div>


if you want it to FLOAT like what you see to the left, then put THIS code in your global header:


<style type="text/css">
#floatNav {top: expression( ( ignoreMe = document.body.scrollTop +20 ) + 'px' ); z-index: 50;}
</style>
<div width="10%" id="floatNav">
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="left" valign="top" width="120" bgcolor="0066FF" class="bordercolor">
<tr><td>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" class="welcomebg" bgcolor="000000">
<div valign="top" id="nvtree"></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr></table></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function floatNav() {
nv=document.getElementById('floatNav');
nv.style.position=(document.all ? 'absolute' : 'fixed');
nv.style.top=document.body.scrollTop +20;
document.body.insertBefore(nv, document.body.firstChild);
}
floatNav();
-->
</script>



This part goes in Global Footer:
