myNavBar.addMenu(tempMenu);

function init() {

var img;

myNavBar.create();

// Find the position of the embedded image and move bar accordingly, note
// that we have to adjust for the table's cell padding.

img = getImage("placeholder");
myNavBar.moveTo(getImagePageLeft(img) - 2, getImagePageTop(img) - 2);
}

</script>

For someone to be able to see the above coe work, they will need to create a img named placeholder.

[just noticed that]

Everyone here has a website. It's just that not all are worth posting (Mine! ).

Hi Richard,

Don't know if I answered this in another forum, but in all likelihood, your problem is related to "hardwiring", especially if the script came dynamicdrive, javascript source, or wsabstract's script pages. Hardwiring happens when there are a lot of global variables, a minimum of parameter passing, and an excessive use of names. Such scripts are written to be used alone on a page.
Your options:
1) recopy the entire script into your html page for each menu you wish to use -- and rename every function and global variable. You can append a "2" for the renaming. Make sure you change the mouseovers or whatever.
2) get another script
3) rewrite the script

Looks like a script from Brainjar. What you need to do is create a second instance of the NavBar object.

var myNavBar2 = new NavBar(135);

Then set all the properties just like you did with the first one. If this does not work then you will have to sift through each line of code most likely.

Why don't you make your own from scratch?

Hi,

Better to learn now than later. And don't worry about being good, just get in there are whip that spaghetti code to shape. If you have a specific question about a specific line or lines of code, I'll try to help.
