I found one in that list that had the functionality that I was going for. Now my problem lies with some integration.

Below is my code. I am trying to make the scrolling txt float with the page as it scrolls.

Same effect as in this page: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/staticmenu.htm

But replacing the floating item with something like this: http://www.dhtmlshock.com/scrollers/AutoScroll/default.asp

When I try and integrate them together the floating area with the auto-scrolling content sinks to the bottom of the page and you cant get to it.

Any idea?

CODE:

<html>
<head>

<STYLE type="text/css"> 
#divASContainer{position:absolute; width:300; height:300; overflow:hidden; top:600; left:15; clip:rect(0,200,300,0); visibility:hidden; background-color: #FFFFFF}
#divASContent{position:absolute; top:0; left:0; background-color: #ffffff}

</STYLE>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">// begin absolutely positioned autoscroll area object scripts

Hello all,

I have an item on my web page that I want to follow down the web site as I scroll the page. I am pretty sure this is done in either JS or DHTML. I am not sure what it is called so I dont know what to search for. Any help would be great! -Thanks
