How do I make a three level nav bar?

[Brian V Hughes]

Ok. Here are the URLs for those scripts that I said I would post:

<http://www.dartmouth.edu/~hades/frontier/navbarii.sit>
<http://www.dartmouth.edu/~hades/frontier/hierarchynav.sit>

The first one goes into user.html.macros, and operates on Frontier 
NavBar outlines, but allows you to nest items under other items. 
Those that are nested, it does checks against to determine if they 
should be displayed, based on the location of the current page being 
rendered. The important thing to note here is pages that you nest 
need to physically be located "below" the sub-heading page. If they 
aren't it will confuse the script and you won't get what you expect. 
Also, only address pointers to pages are supported by the script, but 
it would be possible to add support for other types of pointers.

The second script, which will place itself into the workspace table, 
is for rendering the same kind of collapsing and expanding navigation 
outline for Manila site hierarchy XML structures. It's pretty basic 
with it's method of styling links on the left. If it's a category, 
it's bold and if it's just a page it's not bold. Also, it correctly 
inactivates the link to the current page. NavBarII is much more 
configurable.

As I've said, they are lightly commented, if at all. But I like to 
think that I write clean code. ;-> I'm happy to answer questions, but 
these scripts are provided "as is". I don't have time to provide 
support, bug fixes (I'm sure there are a few, just no deal-stoppers) 
or feature requests.
