Left-side menus hog space and this app is heavy on data entry. Assuming 800x600 minimum resolution, I don't want to use left-side menus. Breadcrumbs may be helpful, however.

>>Well, yes, as much as possible should be done via CSS, but that's a tool, not a design and I was wondering more about actual designs for navigation. The UT makes heavy use of toolbars (buttonbars), but I actually don't see that all that much elsewhere (at least not the way the UT does them).
