Slide menu (always stays on the left side)

Here is a neat slide menu that I use. It follows the user no matter where he is on the page. So if he scrolls down, so does the side menu. If he pans to the right, so does the menu!

slidemenu.js (This is in a text file but name your file slidemenu.js or embed it into your HTML under the HTML code that uses this)

Here is the HTML portion of it: slidemenu_html.txt (paste this code into your web page between the </head> and <body> tags! I know it sounds wierd but that is where it goes and may work within the header but I haven't tried, I am just following instructions. lol)

I forgot to add that with browsers like Mozilla, this slider menu looks like it was coded in a table. It still shows up and looks fine but does not move. I am assuming netscape treats it the same way since netscape and Mozilla are written by the same people. I haven't tried it though. I'll test it today at work. :P

You would add any graphics and font types to the html portion of the slide menu. I usually set up style sheets and use the CLASS. The only thing that the script does is to position the menu, otherwise it is normal HTML. You have it between the </head> and <body> tags so that the script can handle the positioning and so that the browser doesn't try and put it somewhere else.

that's great, you ought to submit your scripts. You got a great flare for scripting. ;D

I just find kewl script and copy them, then modify them as needed. So I really can't take the credit.
