    Default Dynamic-FX Slide-In Menu (v 6.5) All won't float

    I really like the DFX slide-in menu, but can't seem to get it to work as a static menu. Whenever I set menuIsStatic="yes"; in ssmitems.js, and I scroll down in the page (or initially point to a spot not at the top of page) the menu bounces up & down, trying to move to the top of page. I tried using different values for YOffset and staticYOffset but it didn't help.

    I'm using ColdFusion, but it's a simple site (ttp://www.manheimtownship.org). I currently have menuIsStatic set to "no" until I fix the problem.

    I suspect it's a problem with frames. I'm not sure whether to add the (<HEAD>) code in the .cfm files or the .html files that are included in the .cfm files.

    My index.cfm file defines the title and main frames:

    <frameset border="false" rows="85,*" framespacing=0 frameborder="no">

    <frame name="title_frame" src="title_frame.cfm" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling="no" frameborder=0 noresize>

    <frame name="main" src="main.cfm" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling="auto" frameborder=0 >

    </frameset>

    I currently have the <Head> code in the .cfm files, and specify the "main" as the target frame.

    Here's my ssmitems.js:

    <!--

    /*
    Configure menu styles below
    NOTE: To edit the link colors, go to the STYLE tags and edit the ssm2Items colors
    */
    YOffset=20; // no quotes!!
    XOffset=0;
    staticYOffset=20; // no quotes!!
    slideSpeed=20 // no quotes!!
    waitTime=100; // no quotes!! this sets the time the menu stays out for after the mouse goes off it.
    menuBGColor="black";
    menuIsStatic="no"; //this sets whether menu should stay static on the screen
    menuWidth=150; // Must be a multiple of 10! no quotes!!
    menuCols=2;
    hdrFontFamily="verdana";
    hdrFontSize="1";
    hdrFontColor="white";
    hdrBGColor="#170088";
    hdrAlign="left";
    hdrVAlign="center";
    hdrHeight="15";
    linkFontFamily="Verdana";
    linkFontSize="1";
    linkBGColor="white";
    linkOverBGColor="#FFFF99";
    linkTarget="_top";
    linkAlign="Left";
    barBGColor="green";
    barFontFamily="Verdana";
    barFontSize="1";
    barFontColor="white";
    barVAlign="center";
    barWidth=7; // no quotes!!
    barText="MENU"; // <IMG> tag supported. Put exact html for an image to show.

    Default

    I just discovered a winning combination of YOffset=1; and staticYOffset=40;

    For some reason this works now, but I haven't a clue why.
