Hi all. does prototype or scriptaculous offer a way to create a "smart" floating div that follows the screen when scrolling?

[ovigo22]

tht's called "fixed positioning"

[PaulKolin]

tks =) how can i achieve it?

[Jackil]

Position: fixed; in the good browsers

[ovigo22]

In everything but IE, position: fixed;

[Jackil]

In IE you can use position: absolute; and an expression for top: and left:

[PaulKolin]

Hmm.. interesting. i'll look into that. tks a lot

[Jackil]

Position: absolute; top: expression(document.body.scrollHeight+'px'); left: expression(document.body.scrollLeft+'px');
For example

[PaulKolin]

And is it any harm if i use both at the same time ? (to ensure all browsers will see the effect)
Or should i stick to the expression?

[Jackil]

Only IE supports expression()
It's their own private addition
