Navigation Bar
17 Answers
Some ABers already know that I am interested in Neighbourhood Watch. The site on line normally shows a horizontal navigation bar. I've recently bought an Advent laptop and find it does not display the navigation bar. I tried downloading Google Chrome on the laptop but it didn't make any difference. For some reason the laptop doesn't like the navigation bar. How can I get it to display? Any suggestions welcome: http://www.skeef.freeserve.co.uk/ringmerwatch

I think a rewrite of that site is in order using something that produces halfway decent HTML

I rewrote this in 6kb a couple of years ago as a free favour but it appears never to have been implemented:

Coldicote, if you open the http://www.skeef.freeserve.co.uk/ringmerwatch site and then select the view menu and select source you'll be able to see the code behind the site, if you then do the same for the version Squarebear has kindly rewritten for you you'll be able to see just how much neater Squarebears version is.

Thank you for your responses - you obviously have much better knowledge of these things than I have. I've looked at the source code but must admit I don't understand it. A local school taught MS Publisher at evening classes and I'll find it a bit of a struggle to start all over again with something different, but I'll have a go. 'Bye for now - I'll give it a rest.
