<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Mark,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I tried the implementations which Martin sends to the list...</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and I want to point out that this implementation is working very good.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I played in sum not more than 2 days with it (which is too long) - but it works now.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I just wrote a (German) Email to Martin. And we talked about sending something from my implementations back to the OpenCMS Community - because</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>We had the opinion that a lot of projects will need a navigation structure</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>which I did... </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The thing is: It has to be well documented... I think the first step would be to forward an NavigationExample.zip which includes necessary example files and documentations ready to run to the OpenCMS Group - which may put it into the downloads section.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In some weeks I start documentation tasks for our intranet and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>in that timeline it's also to do some documentations for the navigation issues. The documentation has to be in "English" because my boss is American. So it may fit the needs of OpenCMS.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But don't talk so much - do it ... I always talk to me ... but...u know I will do my best. (I'm the one and only programmer in this company)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So if you cannot wait - please use the files from Martin - they're very useful ! (Thank you - again!)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Have a nice time!</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I want to implement navigation with rollovers and layers.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>A primary Navigation with 'n' 3-5 or more Items...should be generated</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>automatically from a folder root and each of them should have a separated</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>layer...the layer contains the secondary navigation. (next folder level)</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So I have to read the whole tree at once - I think - in order to get all</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>navigation items...</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Some problems I have with doing that (besides I did only a very easy</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>navigation at this time)</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> 1. I don't know how to separate logically the primary navigation from</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> the secondary navigation</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> 2. positioning the layers might be a problem. But I think will solve</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> this through properties in folders. Or extending CmsXmlNav. with a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> new method. Which shifts every new layer to the right depending from</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> it's position and how many nav items where displayed before.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Did somebody extend the CmsXmlNav? It would be great if somebody posts some</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>code examples it to me.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If somebody has implemented such a navigation.. it would also be great</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>posting me.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thank you, very much,</FONT>
