Re: [mv] Variable Not Working Right. HELP!

G'Day Ed,

Actually I hadn't even thought of this way. I was just 
going to define it as a variable and insert it the same 
way you do the logobar, leftside, and menubars.

I was banging my head against the wall and didn't even 
think of the include.

However I treid it and it does work either. It doesn't 
seem to find my file, and since the docs don't say what 
directory the file should be placed in, I am just using 
the "pages" directory. Ah well I am off to play with it 
some more.

Mega Thanks!

John
