Simple nav menu similar to netobjects fusion?

Hi - first post from a dreamweaver newbie, so please excuse the simplicity of
my Q.

I have been searching the help & forums for a method to create a navigation
bar similar to the ones Netobjects Fusion automatically creates from the site
structure. Is it possible to do this with DMX? I guess it would be something to
include when I build my sites template, and I dont want to dash off on the
wrong foot & have to re-work everything later.

All I can find in the DMX help is 'navbar' but this id a flashy rollover type
of button, and doesnt really do what I want it to do. I guess what I really
want is for the navigation bar to automatically update every time I add a new
page.

To understand what I mean, a simple site I built with NOF is
http://www.cheap-computer-guy.com, the navigation on the LH column updates
automatically every time I add a page.

Please help a newbie! Thanks - Pilkster

Good call. It's really only suitable for framed sites....

You won't get that. Sorry.

But if you want good navigation elements, check the tutorials at PVII -
