fixed menu

[Jo McF]

I would like my links menu to be fixed so that when the customer scrolls down the page, the menu doesn't scroll with the rest of the page.[nbsp][nbsp]What is the code for this?[nbsp][nbsp]Thanks!

Jo, the easiest way to do this is with frames.[nbsp][nbsp]basically in this case that would require you to create an index page, that calls for two other pages, lets call them leftside and body. When a browser hits your index page they really see the leftside and body pages together.[nbsp][nbsp]BUT many webmasters and experts in the field feel that frames should go the way of the Dinosaurs.[nbsp][nbsp]There are inherent problems with frames, i.e. your body page can be displayed without the leftside, and that would render your navigation useless.[nbsp][nbsp]Here is a primer on frames.

Hope this helps.

To accomplish this two things come to mind, frames/java. For your design I would probably recommend a frame for your menu. You might check out the following pages for more info on frames if you are not familiar with it.

I looked at the pages you all suggested, but I don't think it's doing what I want it to do.[nbsp][nbsp]Here is an example of what i want my pages to do:

See how the menu on the left doesn't move regardless of scrolling down the right hand side?[nbsp][nbsp]That's what I want my pages to do.[nbsp][nbsp]how do I get that effect?

(now I'm going to post this and hope th link comes through! :) )

This would in fact be a frame. The above links should guide you to getting this effect up on your site.
