I have seen this on a few sites. They have a panel at the top or buttom that always stays there but the rest of the page moves. If any one could find a site to do this. Or if anyone can paste the HTML that would be nice. People ussaly put a banner and/or links on them. So kind of like a backround that stays in place while you scroll but this is somthing that is a info\banner that stays in place at the top or buttom of your screen.

Something like an "always on top" message? It requires javascript I guess, not just html... This may help you...

this is easier to understand how to use

...you just change the colors of the font, background, the size etc...you`ll handle it...otherwise, write back here about your problem and I`ll try to help you

It can also be done without javascript using CSS, but it is awfully sensitive about the page structure since different Browsers perform differently. IE has trouble with the position:fixed, for instance.
The top banner and sidebar of the HTML template available in my Signature below uses an IE conditional statement to select another correct css file for using this technique in IE.
Have a look and download the zip. You can ignore the php and all that other template stuff. Focus on the css files and the IE Conditional Statements.

it more like a table that stays at the buttom. Ill try to find an example if you need too. But it is the width of the page. Thanks guys, if you would like if this is java you can move this. Im going to edit this post with examples if i find any thanks.

That looks like a frameset to me... Maybe you could show us a url to the exact page or a clearer screenshot would do... Because by the videos the conclusion would be like its using framset with something like that...

CODE

Something like that as it seems to me, where the bottom info bar is coded into the btmtool.html...

They are just using html frames. Basically it's a easy way to embed several pages in one. I don't really like them because they aren't very flexible and not all browsers support them, but you use them easly for simple sites. Here is a good tutorial about them:

Looks like my guess is correct, they are using framesets... I've given you an example of the code above, and the tutorial link given by kkrizka should work... and here's the html code of the example you've given, you should recognise some framsets here...

CODE

<html>

<head>
<title>Salient LED signs, moving message signs, electronic signs, experts in LED signs</title>

</head>

<frameset rows="80,*" border=0 frameborder="0">
  <frame name="banner" scrolling="no" noresize target="contents" src="products-heading.htm">
  <frameset cols="150,*">
    <frame name="contents" scrolling="no" noresize target="column" src="products-column.htm">
    <frame name="main" noresize target="main" src="products-main.htm">
  </frameset>
  <noframes>
  <body>

  <p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>

  </body>
  </noframes>
</frameset>

</html>

Frames are actually a great tool but a different screen resolution of the client or some browser may screw up your entire page view, so be very careful when you use framesets for your sites...

Thank you hype. You have told me how and an example of the coding in the site i found. It works great and i have had no complaints. Thank you to everyone else that tried to help but it wasn't the java i needed. The HTML works fine and i like it. I read up more and found out some other things that are like this and how to change its size and add things to it.
