You can't just move the code and have it work in other templates. The navbits are defined after the header is rendered, so you need to do something to make the navbits code before the header is rendered if you want to move it to the header.

umm , Lynne thanks for ur posting
but this is what im talking about , is there a way to move the navbar into the header to interagate header + navbar in same,
but i dont want to put header in navbar i want to put navbar onto header
Can i do this,and if i can
Please Help Me
Thanks.

why do you want the two templates to be merged at first? they are coded seperately for specific reasons... and they are not for design, but for functionalities...

so instead of praying for someone to help, give us details of the reasons you need this to be done...

I know. And the only way you can move the navbar code into the header is if you render the header after the navbar template. The header template is rendered when you call global.php. In the showthread template, for instance, that is on line 110. The navbar template gets rendered much later, again, in the showthread template, that is on line 2118. So, you can't put something that isn't rendered (the navbar) into a template that is already rendered (the header) without rearranging the code so that the navbar is rendered *before* the header is rendered.
