Floating Menu Help

[richie-c]

Can anyone help with this code... its based on this here..

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/staticmenu.htm

updated by the same guy and posted on another forum some time ago...

I'm just getting started with javascript, I have the menu in place it works fine, same as the example if you check the dynamic drive link above.

What I want is a delay on when the menu relocates itself, so it scrolls up/down with the page, when the scrolling stops it sits there for a couple of seconds, then relocates.. main reason is to get rid of the jagging effect you get when using a mouse wheel.

I've spent hours trying various things.. but haven’t had any luck, any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers Rich
