James,

If you have a copy of the Advanced Users Guide, take a look on page 14 for the topic, 'Inserting Individual Navigation Buttons'. I have enclosed the topic...

Inserting Individual Navigation Buttons

There is a NETQUOTEVAR for each separate navigation button in the navigation bar. These can be used instead of the restrictive NETQUOTEVAR:HEADERGUIDE and NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE and they can be used in Act_Primary, Act_BrochurePrimary, Act_Header and Act_Footer.
These new placeholders use Act_NavigationItem.html as the template to place the navigation button correctly into the HTML.
To use them, simply place any of the following placeholders in the templates mentioned above.

Button Placeholder
Search button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBSEARCH
Checkout button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCHECKOUT
Cart button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCART
Email button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAIL
SiteMap button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBSITEMAP
Info button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBINFO
Up button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBUP
Back button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBBACK
Catalog button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCATALOG
Home button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOME
Login Button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBLOGIN

If you prefer, you can just use the URL of each navigation button as part of your own custom navigation control. To do this simply add the word 'LINK' onto the end of any of the above variables, and place them within an <a> tag. For instance:
<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCARTLINK">. . .</a>
…will create a link to the shopping cart.

Kind regards,

Thanks Bruce, that seems to be working a treat.
