Hi guys!

I *know* this can be done because I did it a few weeks ago and now, for the life of me, can't recall or figure out how I did it (I don't have the original code anymore).

On my site there is a wizard (currently an emporer placeholder graphic) and a logo (currently a lousy one) on the left side in a table cell. Since they have a black background, I want to *stop* the logo and wizard from scrolling with the rest of the table. Reason: On long pages (like my links page) I end up with an empty black sidebar for a long period of scrolling. I'd like the wizard and logo to sit in that bar while the person scrolls the page. This will create the illusion of frames even though there are no frames.

Any input on how to do this? I remember it was a real simple bit of code, but now I can't find it online anymore.

Best Regards

Jarrett

i dont really understand what u want, but heres some ideas, for a background to not scroll u would use :

HTML Code:

<body background ="backgroundimage" 
bgproperties="fixed">

also for a individual section you could use css and do something like

HTML Code:

<style type="text/css"><!--
.place {
           background url(ur_image_here)
           no-repeat fixed;
         }
-->
</style>

Hope it helps

yes, what he said is how you can stop the background from scrolling. I love this feature, I use it myself. But for your logo, the only thing I can think to suggest would be to make a fixed sideFrame. This is a sinch with dreamweaver, or other programs. If you don't know how to do it, I would be happy to help you out, or I'm sure aomeone else could.

You could make it where your frame ends on the right with the black, and then on your mainFrame area, create the homepage with no left margin, and start out with the contacnt on a table with a black column and then go over to that gold bar you have.

You could also use a floating layer javascript so that as you scroll down the page, the image "floats in the black bar. I sue one that found on www.javascript-FW.com. It's easy to use, just replce his menu with a larger layer and spacer image, and put your image on the layer. This would probably be the easiest thing to do, since you could use the page you already have and just add the script.

Hope this helps or at least points you in the direction you want to go.

Good ideas folks! It's frustrating a bit because I did this little trick with just a tiny bit of code. Basically the whole page except that one graphic would scroll. Almost like it was on its own layer.

But in any case, I have discovered (since, like, yesterday) the joy of designing in PS7 using slicing etc and am going to completely re-think the site

Thank goodness for image slicing! And for PSP, My favorite program.
