Custom Navigation Bar

[Revolution Yes]

Hello,

I want to create a custom navigation bar (whilst leaving the standard vB one intact) so that I can give prominence to specific sections of my forum. This navigation bar would contain images (.jpg buttons) which link to different sections of my forum.

1) Can anyone give me a rough idea on how to create a custom navigation bar - would I need to use 'tables', and if so can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

2) Where in my style sheet would I place the finished navigation table? Do I simply place the code where I want it to appear, for example, directly below the header (at the bottom of the 'header' stylesheet)?

Thanks for any help.

All you need to do is edit the current navigation bar by editing the navbar template.
If you want to leave the original one, you can add a second navigation bar directly below the first.

Thanks so much for that Nick, it worked a treat!

Does anyone know how to change the color of the 2nd nav bar? It's appearing 'black' by default, and I need it to be the same color as my link images.

Can anyone advise whether or not it's a good idea to put a custom navigation in the "Header" of Common Templates?

There is nothing wrong with doing this.
