A floating Menu

#1 08-19-2008, 09:20 PM

Can you direct me to where I can read up on making a floating menu so that its always there even when the reader scrolls down the page. I'm not eve sure what you would call this so I'm not sure what to even look for.

I'm using a CS2 on a G5.

Google 'persistent layer' and that should get you part way there.

Is there a particular name its called in GoLive? that would be covered in help.

It's not a GL feature, so no. If you want something like this, you'd have
to create it manually.

Or you could do it with MenuMachine.

Might try the "smooth float layer" action from here:

....assuming it works in current browsers.

Most such things are on the edge of acceptable in current versions of
Firefox - much too herky jerky.

Yeah... too bad IE6 doesn't support CSS static positioning. Does IE7? I'd think so, but don't remember checking.

CSS position: fixed; does not seem to work in MSIE6 but it is fine in MSIE 7 and 8. MSIE6 just moves the DIV with the rest of the page scroll.

A Google search <http://www.google.com/search?q=position%3A+fixed%3B+msie> reveals a few tricks to deal with this.
