essentially what you need to do is check what level directory you're in
before you call the nav code, and set a variable for the "rootpath" that
you can then prepend to any links/urls called in the nav code.

one way to do this:

if your nav code is in the base directory at, say,
http://www.yoursite.com/ and you've got further subdirectories
http://www.yoursite.com/dir1/ and http://www.yoursite.com/dir1/dir2/
then before your nav code you'd run this:

var currLoc = window.location.toString();
var rootPath = "";

if (currLoc.indexOf("dir2") != -1)
     rootPath = "../../"
else if (currLoc.indexOf("dir1") != -1)
     rootPath = "../"


then in your js nav code you need to include rootpath in every relevant
link, e.g.:

someurl = rootPath + "rest/of/the/link.js"
