Move page links from the top?

Hi,

I've just designed a new website with multiple pages using the "Modern" theme. The page links are listed along the top but I'd like to move them to the right side if possible as there are quite a few.

Any help would be appreciated,

It can be done, but it means fiddling around with javascript code in your site - if you use the page template navigation menus, they are all in java so you need to alter this code to move the nav bar.

The easier way to do it is to build your own text based navigation menu - open the Inspector and go to Page and then hide nav menu. Build your own by using a text box or shapes etc and you can then place it anywhere on your site that you want to. It also means that your site will be found in web searches better. Lots of browsers cannot pick up java based nav menus.

Thanks,

A simple but very powerful solution! I think I'll leave the java alone and make my own nav bar.

Cheers,

Barry

There's a ready made javascript to do that. See this demo page, Navbar at the Bottom for an example. The code used in the HTML snippet (courtesy of Cyclosaurus) can be found here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6547454&#6547454 courtesy of Cyclosaurus.

Hi-

I noticed your response about moving the page links to the side of the pg. I did go into the inspector and unclicked the display navigation menu and I created text boxes for my page names, but how do I link it so they register when you click on them? Do I then go into hyperlink for each one? Thanks so much for your help!

Yes, if you create the links in a text box, then you need to go to Inspector and open Hyperlink and create links to your web pages for each one.
