Always on top message

[Ridge]

1) Script Title:
Always on top message

2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex10/topmsg.htm

3) Describe problem:
Hi! I need help with the Always on top message-script. I've been stuck with a problem I can't fix for two days now. I'm using the script on http://www.bakkercomputeropleidingen.nl/v2, but for some reason it doesn't go to the bottom of the page, and it doesn't scroll either. I've already asked this question on two other forums till I discovered this one.. But nobody can find out what the problem is. If you can help me out here, you're my hero for sure!

Thanks in advance

Also, due to your styles, the blinking effect does not work properly in FF. If you want it to, this style block at the end of your head section will take care of that:

<style type="text/css">
#topmsg:hover, #topmsg a:hover {
background-color:inherit;
}
</style>
