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>
