    Default using Web Designer to *just* make a navbar?

    Here's my problem - I built a website that has non-dynamic HTML pages (which I can use Web Designer for), and dynamic, Perl/cgi generated pages. For the non-dynamic pages it was a snap to make my navbars in Web Designer. For the Perl/cgi generated pages, I had to use Xara's older program, Menu Maker, to create the nav bars, which has limited styles that can be used, so making the nav bars match throughout the website was a real headache.
    My question is - does anyone know if there's a way to use Web Designer to make *just* a nav bar that can be used (with the supporting javascript) in non-Web Designer webpages?
    Thanks in advance!

    For anyone that is curious, here is the website:

    and here is an example of a webpage "certificate" that I was actually able to design with Web Designer *and* was also able to include dynamic data using Perl/cgi/MySQL

    Nav bars, as with any other objects in Web Designer cannot be exported seperately as you could with Menu Maker. It will only export the entire site.

    There are 2 obvious options you could consider for site continuity here;

    You could create your dynamic pages externally and then insert them as iframes in your pages designed in Web Deisgner below the nav bar in Web Designer.

    Or create your site nav bar in Menu Maker and insert that into all pages, including the Web Designer pages. This support article tell you how this is done

    Excellent! I think the second method you mentioned will work just fine for me - thank you so much!
