what is the best way to implement a navigation

control?

I am talking about a tab control with links to a bunch of pages which could
be on the left side or accross the top of the page.

I've used user controls, but having to put the user control on every page is
getting tiresome.

Is using frames a better way? Then if so, how would you do that?
Server.Transfer () does not let me specify the target frame and neither does
Response.Redire ct.

Sorry if it sounds like a newbie question.

What you need is a Master Page, from which all your pages will automatically
inherit the navigation user control and other common page elements.
Unfortunately there is not an easy way to do this until .NET 2.0 comes out
next year.
Here are a couple ways you can sort of fake it for now, but they're not
nearly as intuitive and functional as the 2.0 implementation is shaping up
to be.

Hi, I am designing a web site that will that showcase a bunch of vacation pictures. It will have a banner and a navigation menu (consisting of 13 rectangular images that can be clicked).

I've been searching for guidance on which of the approaches used for skipping repetive links (e.g., link as normal text, link as alt text on invisible image, link with same forground and background colors that becomes visible when in hover or active state using css) is the best approach. Is there any place on the net where this is addressed? Thanks in advance.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
