Keeping a scrolling picture javascript active through navigation

[Coffee Freak]

I'm trying to build a website in which I will have a scrolling bar of pictures rolling and below it have a navigation bar. I'd like to keep the javascript picture scroller on all of the subsequent pages, but I don't want it to start over each time you click a nav button. 10-15 years ago, I'd have done it in frames and called it good. Is there a better way to accomplish the same thing? I know Flash would probably do it, but I don't know Flash well enough, nor do I own it.

Don't use Flash. Try one of the many plugins for jquery sliders, there are many tutorials on them.

I already have the slider, just want it to keep scrolling and locked in above the navigation bar. The area below the nav bar will be all that changes, thus I was thinking frames.

I would suggest looking at a website that has an example of the slider you are trying to accomplish. Analyze the code and go from there. That is what I usually do if I ever get stumped on a problem. That or I will look up the tutorial.

Well aside from the fact that frames are "so" yesterday... is there any reason NOT to use them in this instance?

Well lets see...
Master frame has no content.
Content frame does.
What do you think would happen with a google search?

Now THAT makes sense... No wonder frames are "SO" last decade...

Thanks!

Any suggestions as to how to accomplish this?

you could try tabs if the site isnt too large (like 5/10 pages tops)
