"Stay On Top" content script - center DIV...?

[Zanato]

1) Script Title: Stay On Top Content Script

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici.../stayontop.htm

3) Describe problem: I'd like to have the popup DIV centered on the page rather than appear in one of the corners. DDAdmin did address this before but his modified .js file seems to be no longer available and that thread is now closed >> http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...-Script-Center

Regards,
Zan

Hi Vic and thank you very much for your reply.

I tried copying in the parts only shown in red but it didn't work so I copied in all your code overwriting the old code and it worked perfect. So I guess you modified more than what you have shown in red.

Thanks a million again!

Sorry guys...

I tried to edit the thread title to show it as Resolved but it gave the warning - "Warning: Only variables should be passed by reference in ..../editpost.php on line 323" and it seems to have deleted my original post.
