Need help creating a navigation bar that scrolls with the screen

[Jayhawks88]

I'm using Publisher 2003 to create a site and I'm having no luck fixing my
problem. I need to create a navigation bar (or even a textbox that I could
populate with links) that moves automatically with the page.

Ideally, I would like to be able to use some method to do this with multiple
textboxes or autoshapes as well.

I'm trying to create the page in such a way so that when a user is scrolling
through the main page, the right side of the screen would have a panel with
the links for the page and a couple of textboxes with relevant information
underneath that stays in place. This way, the user wouldn't have to scroll
back to the top of the page in order to be able to use the links on the
navigation bar.

Thanks in advance for any help that you all can provide.

There's nothing native in Publisher that can do this...and not sure you'll
get this to work in Publisher either...DavidF would know more about adding
this snippet to your publisher website.

Thanks for the help Rob. It works. Just copy and paste the code in a code
fragment box.

Big thanks to both of you. You have really helped me out. Now I just need
to edit it a bit to make it work with my page (which is going to be
interesting given my lack of HTML knowledge)

Thanks again.

I don't expect you to...you have enough to do with Web Expression. But it
sure is helpful when you jump in with a link like you did, or other advice
about coding and stuff that I don't know, or have time to do.

That is part of the fun of web design. And if you find a code snippet that
doesn't work, or that you can't modify to work, then google for different
code...there are lots of it out there. Just be careful...just because you
can do something, doesn't mean you should. In my opinion, one of the guiding
principles of good web design...and I am NOT an expert...is to KISS. For
example, this floating menu may or may not work on all browsers....it is
possible that the search engines will not be able to index your site using
the floating menu. If you are going to use it, you probably should use a
manually built menu at the bottom of each page as a backup method of
navigating your site, and for the search engines to index. Have fun...

yer welcome.
that menu is javascript (not to be mistaken with java), not html

goodluck and have fun
