a link or a snapshot of your website will help. I could tell you where and how to put it maybe even the coding behind it.

sorry, thanks for helping and heres the problem im having in more detail for you....

currently pages are set statically for example applications.php but i would like it to be more like products/applications, i have done the following in .htaccess to acheive this...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^products/applications$ applications.php

but when i try and visit the new url the style sheets and images are missing, if someone knows how to fix this, i would really appreciate this alot and heres the example of what im trying to explain and even if theres a better method of doing what im trying to do please share it as all your help means alot to me...

Old Url: http://shadowscape.co.uk/applications.php
New Url: http://shadowscape.co.uk/products/applications (what i would like it to be)

so basically you want the file extensions not to show up in the browser?

Are you creating all the pages in a static manner? How many pages do you intend to have over the next 1-2 years? Normally, such navigation links are generated dynamically through scripting and you should first work out a method that is efficient to maintain.
