Hello,

Is it possible to impliment, without frames, a static nav bar with
scrolling content underneath?

Thanks,

Bill

T'is, but the required CSS is not supported by IE. There is a IE js hack
to emulate fixed behaviour, but it's not pretty (jerky).

Still interested?

Nope.

What is *the best* way to impliment nav menu's so that each page doesn't
have duplicate code for the nav? JS? HTML/CSS?

There is an example here: http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/ - being at w3.org you
can be sure it validates and will most likely work on all or nearly all
browsers.

I see. It looks like they use position: fixed. I think the float
attribute is also required to achieve the effect; I wouldn't think this
method would make for a useful navbar at top.

Bottom line: I need to give up on the iframe and become OK with loosing
site of the nav bar when scrolling down.

Ooo, goodie, a question I can actually answer.

Check out the following link. It does just that, but beware: you need
javascript (-or preferably server-side scripting) to make it happen.

Very cool! Nice work!

I was hoping that I would be able to use less js though. I think I need
to understand the overflow and visibility CSS attributes. I look at
those today.

Amos,

Nearly all, perhaps. Does not work on IE 6.0.2800.1106IC. The
navigation area scrolls with the rest of the page.

Um, and there are no triangle bullets before each nav entry, and the
abbreviations are not visible.

T'would be better, true. Basically all that page does is provide an IE-
workaround for position:fixed. The same could be accomplished
javascriptless with PHP very easily.

Hopefully, the much-rumored IE7 will recognize that function and others
its predecessors now do not.
