If you are creating mulitple HTML pages under one NAV node then you need to use the multi-page or TOC
Try the following pulled from a test I did for my portfolio page:
<!--- Multipage? --->
<skin:multiPageTOC objectid="#stObj.objectid#" display="false" r_qlinks=r_Pages>
<cfif r_Pages.recordcount gt 1>
<cfoutput><div id="multiPageTOC"></cfoutput>
<skin:multiPageTOC objectid="#stObj.objectid#">
<cfoutput></div></cfoutput>
</cfif>

Hi Guys, Big thanks for the help but I'm still really stumped. I want to implement your option 1 Ian. I have created a new Nav node of root called Test, and created 3 html pages in it, P1,P2 and P3. When I click Test on the main site nav menu, P1 is displayed - what I'm after is getting the side bar to display links to both P2 and P3 on P1, P2 and P3 (P1 is accessed by clicking Test on the menu bar. Just like the features section on the farcry site.
I've tried creating links and using rules to display child links in containers, but only the first link is displayed, plus I don't see how when creating a link you are supposed to reference another internal page. The link creation dialog box ask for a url to be typed in.
I haven't started to look at the code yet, I'm assuming this can be done out the box - is this correct or do I need to do a bit of coding?
Thanks again Lee

I am also new to Farcry and was confused at first by 'secondary' navigation because it can be defined or rather displayed in two or more different ways.
If you look at the page you mention (http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/features) you can see secondary navigation displayed in two ways:
1. The first way it is displayed is within the side bar on the right
(Overview, FAQ, Farcry Sites). These three sections 'hang off' Features as
child or secondary navigation nodes - if you take a look at the site map you
can see the site's structure. To display these nodes you would use the
'Child Links' rule within one of you page's container objects and an
appropriate template in your webskins directory to format their display.
There is documentation on the Farcry site
(http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/documentation) which shows how to use
containers and rules.
Of course these child links will only display when their parent page is loaded as they are children of it, so if you go to 'Documentation' you will get a different set of child links - indeed on this page you see child links displayed in three ways.
2. The other way to display secondary or child links is as a dynamic menu - as you see on top of the page. Mouse over the primary links and you see a drop down of the relevant child links. This hierarchical menu is displayed on all pages thus allowing you to see the second level, if you like, of the site's structure from the home or any other page.
Now, in the current build of Farcry 2.1b3 only option 1 is available 'out of
the box' (via the 'Child Link' rule, etc.). The second option (drop-down
menus) used to be, but was I think removed when the new Aura templates were
introduced. However, it would be fairly straightforward to add your own drop
down menus.
I know from this list that some people have or are working on integrating the Farcry navigation structure with drop down menu systems such as those at http://www.milonic.co.uk/. For our site (not yet in production), I have mimicked the 2-level menus found at http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/ or as seen in their 'Halo' templates.
Hope this helps.

I've read (but not comprehended) about secondary navigation but still don't get it or see how to implement it. Also on the default site how would I make the side bar display links that are relevant to the selected main menu bar tab, like on the http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/features.
As you can see I'm new to Farcry, so any guidance would be great, and really appreciated.
Thanks Lee
