    Default Floating Menu

    I have created a floating menu using Java for my page that is on the right side
    of the page. The problem I am having is that my page is center aligned, and
    when I resize the window, the menu doesn't move accrodingly. It stays put
    instead of moving with the page. How do I make the menu has be positioned
    absolutely move with the tables and cell? Can I make it absolute relative to
    the cell? How???? Thanks!


    The page menu can be seen at: [url]http://192.138.193.65/ethics/casestudy.htm[/url]

    Default Re: Floating Menu

    For what it's worth, I miss seeing the menu completely on my 1280x1024
    screen because my browser viewport is set at about 720px width. This is a
    dangerous scheme for that reason alone. When I notice that I have a
    horizontal scroll and scroll to the right, the menu beats offscreen to the
    right just ahead of me. Personally, I think this is in the same category as
    the mouse trackers.

    Nevertheless, you can make the whole thing center as a unit by making these
    modifications -

    Change this -

    body {
    background-color: #000000;
    }

    to this -

    body {
    background-color: #000000; text-align:center;
    }

    #wrapper { width:1200px; position: relative; margin:0 auto;
    text-align:left; }

    and this -

    <body topmargin="0" onLoad="start()" >

    to this -

    <body topmargin="0" onLoad="start()" >
    <div id="wrapper">

    and this -

    <div align="center">
    <table border="0" align="center">

    to this -

    <table border="0" align="left">

    Then you might want to fix the invalid code here -

    <td valign="top"><div id="lala">
    <p>&nbsp;</p> </tr>
    </table>
    <p>&nbsp;</p></td>

    And you should be good to go.

    But 1200px is stunningly wide.

    Default Re: Floating Menu

    Thank You! The menu now stays relative to the tanle but it is not where I want
    it to be. How do I move it to the empty column to the right of the page? I
    changed the left values but it appears there and then jumps back to the right.

    Also, I am not sure I understand what you mean by 1200 being too wide. I am on
    a 20" widescreen, but is there a way I can set my viewport to 720? My res is
    1680x1050. Thanks for all your help!

    Grab the lower right-hand resize grabber on your browser window and resize
    it until it's 720px wide.

    Personally, I wouldn't invest another minute in it. You would probably have
    to adjust the right margin setting in the layer floating setup to get what
    you want.
