Note: Minor changes by DD- Combined two scripts into 1. Added LAYER tag for NS4.
Description: This cross-browser menu stays static on the left hand corner of the browser via a gentle "floating" action. The result is an non-abrupt, smooth transition to reappearing into view for the menu.
Two interesting features of this script are 1) Support for arbitrary rich HTML, so you can float "anything." 2) The menu can be specified to float either from the top or bottom of the screen (in demo, the later is used).
Simply insert the below code to the END of your document, right above the </BODY> tag.
Code: Select all
<script>
if (!document.layers)
document.write('<div id="divStayTopLeft" style="position:absolute">')
</script>
<layer id="divStayTopLeft">
<!--EDIT BELOW CODE TO YOUR OWN MENU-->
<table border="1" width="130" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
