Put $navbar into header

[Oreamnos]

I want to move the $navbar into my header. I tried sticking $navbar into the header template but no luck.

Before I tear apart my templates, what is the best way to access the $navbar values in the header?

you can see here where i want to put the $navbar values.

thanks

Just copy the navbar bits into the header template but make sure you leave the popup menu controls in the navbar template. That's always worked for me

That won't work.
Template header gets eval()ed by global.php - way before $navbits is defined.

Yeah, i already tried this and it didn't work.

Does anyone know how, though?
