I have designed a website for for a company my friends and I own. It's being tested and revised at www.rodeman.com. On the left side is the navigation bar comprised of buttons in a vertical layout. On some pages, you have to scroll down to read all of the content. I would like the navigation bar to remain on the left hand side of the screen, no matter how far down you scroll. Essentially, I want our guests to be able to select different locations at any time, regardless how far down the page they scroll. Thanks for your help and suggestions on how to do this. I'm a novice with web pages and use FrontPage 2003 to create our web pages. Thanks, John

First, you can use a frameset... That creates seperate "frames" for the page, so that the navigation gets its own frame that scrolls independantly. It's probably the easiest way to set it up... but there are long lists of reasons why you wouldn't want to use frames on a website. Second you can use javascript to "float" your navigation on the left side and fix it so it doesnt move. Better than frames, but will require javascript to be enabled in the browser... if it isn't then your visitor is SOL Also, this can be a little bit "jumpy" - as in it fidgets on the screen while you scroll... Third, and what I'd recommned trying, is to use CSS to fix the position of a DIV containing the navigation so that it stays put... This last method may not work in all browsers (like IE...) you'll have to do some playing to find out... Hope that helps! _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? (in reply to yitbos)

I'm not sure how to figure out how to do the programming. Is there actually a name for this type of a thing? Can I do a google search and find some code or is there something specific I should look for in a CSS programing book? Thanks again for the info. (in reply to bobby)
