I have the same exact problem...

Personally I would like to have embedded in this script the Slashdot menu {http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/slashdot.htm}. That is the solution I was really looking forward to finding.

But I would be happy to try to figure that one out more later if this menu system functioned first.

The floating menu really solves navigation problems when clients insist in a very long page that scrolls forever.

Can anyone solve this or have another suggestion?

((client meeting Monday))

Thanks

No one looking into this issue??? I tried saving it in a html file and I was able to see it floating.

However, when I tried using it in my blog under blogger.com, the thing just won't float and would get stuck there...

Someone look into this please...
