The navigation bar is what makes it easy for people to move around your website. And WebPlus X5 enables you to create one that stays in the same position as the page scrolls, so it's always visible. Here's how to do it...



 Positioning the navigation barDouble-click the Master page icon (below) on the Site tab to select your Master page.

With a navigation bar (left) in place, right-click on it and select Convert to panel, then right-click on it again and select Edit Panel.



 Editing the panelIn the Panel Properties dialog (left), check the Align panel to browser window box, then choose horizontal and vertical alignments.

Your choices here determine where your navigation bar is as the page scrolls. Left Horizontal Alignment and Top Vertical Alignment will lock the navigation bar to the top-left of the browser window.

Click OK and go to File>Preview site to see your scrolling navigation bar in action; you can see our example below.
