Hi,
So apparently frames are not done anymore. The nice thing about frames was, that you could have a nice menu, which was always positioned at the same spot. I am currently constructing a Joomla page, as I am working on a website that has to be eddited by people that don't know too much about html. Is there any way to get a menu that does not move while scrolling down? Please help. Marco |

The only thing I would prefer is that you don't see any movement. I just want a static menu that is not moving, but which stays positioned at one particular spot on the page. |

CSSPLAY has a couple different ones.
Here is a link to their IE6 compatible one. http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/fixed.html#bites There are others there, too, if this one doesn't meet your needs. |

I just hope they don't fix the IE6 "bug" that makes this possible. Also, I started with my post that frames are no longer used a lot. Why is that anyway! |

Couple of reasons.
Mostly because the W3c says they aren't or won't be allowed. Also, you can not bookmark a framed site properly. It always records the Index page and not the page you are actually looking at. If you are at the page http://mysite.com/forums/review/html/page.html, it would record http://mysite.com/index.php or something like that, and not the detailed page you were viewing. Additionally, this makes the site NOT Search Engine Friendly. |
