"Floating Menu Script" mod

[dj_ray]

This is a simple fix for you javascript gurus! (not for me though!)

The script in question is located here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...staticmenu.htm

All I want is instead of having the script floating on only the left side, could you modify the script so the menu floats on the right bottom?

Also I would prefer if the location of the menu could be user specified by position, but that is a secondary request!

Thanks in advance!

Just want to know if this is an easy fix...
Please some response would be appreciated!

Hi.

Look for this line of code:

var startX = 5,
startY = 180;

---

alter those values a bit for testing and see what you get.

Take care...

[dj_ray]

yeah but those are absolute values...

I've modified the script for you, but I've only checked it in Firefox (I'm very pushed for time at the moment), so test it and report back to me.

<script>
if (!document.layers)
document.write('<div id="divStayTopLeft" style="position:absolute">')
</script>

<layer id="divStayTopLeft">

<!--EDIT BELOW CODE TO YOUR OWN MENU-->
<table border="1" width="130" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
      <p align="center"><b><font size="4">Menu</font></b></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

//Enter "frombottom" or "fromtop"
var verticalpos="frombottom"

if (!document.layers)
document.write('</div>')

function JSFX_FloatTopDiv()
{
	var startX = document.body.clientWidth - 150,
	startY = 150;
	var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1);
	var d = document;
	function ml(id)
	{
		var el=d.getElementById?d.getElementById(id):d.all?d.all[id]:d.layers[id];
		if(d.layers)el.style=el;
		el.sP=function(x,y){this.style.left=x;this.style.top=y;};
		el.x = startX;
		if (verticalpos=="fromtop")
		el.y = startY;
		else{
		el.y = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight : document.body.scrollTop + document.body.clientHeight;
		el.y -= startY;
		}
		return el;
	}
	window.stayTopLeft=function()
	{
		if (verticalpos=="fromtop"){
		var pY = ns ? pageYOffset : document.body.scrollTop;
		ftlObj.y += (pY + startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
		}
		else{
		var pY = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight : document.body.scrollTop + document.body.clientHeight;
		ftlObj.y += (pY - startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
		ftlObj.x = document.body.clientWidth - 150;
		}
		ftlObj.sP(ftlObj.x, ftlObj.y);
		setTimeout("stayTopLeft()", 10);
	}
	ftlObj = ml("divStayTopLeft");
	stayTopLeft();
}
JSFX_FloatTopDiv();
</script>

Code Notes: Wherever you see:

var startX = document.body.clientWidth - 150,
or
ftlObj.x = document.body.clientWidth - 150;

Then 150 needs to be made larger if you have a wider menu.

[dj_ray]

the code works...

however remove the spaces in the following lines:

var el=d.getElementById?d.getElementById(id):d.all?d.a ll[id]:d.layers[id];
el.sP=function(x,y){this.style.left=x;this.style.t op=y;};

thanks a lot creative!

Well spotted

It doesn't want to edit them out using the Edit button, so I guess my old post'll have to live with them
