Hmmmm...application.cfm running only once *might* provide a workable solution to this. Is it possible to determine the calling page for an include somehow? In other words, if the page that was calling the navigation include were in a particular directory, or even began with a particular string (about_history.cfm, about_index.cfm, contact_info.cfm, contact_form.cfm) then I *might* envision some way to determine that and use it to my advantage... But like I said, I'm in the early stages of just figuring out if I can even DO it, and it's mainly for an estimate for time. I figure with the amount of pages this site will contain, if I could do a dynamic navigation, that would shave hours as compared to creating several "versions" of the navigation, which just talking about gives me the willies, not to mention just *sounds* wrong.
