Vikenk, noted that in my original post. I have the luxury of being in a situation where all the users will have to use Firefox to interact with the website. This is a project for departmental use, not the greater world, so I'm able to do away with cross-browser concerns.

I've used followscroll, but it's jumpy. :) fixed is much nicer. And the menu has a position property, but it does seem the submenus aren't designed to play well with fixed positioning. I tend to avoid iframes, particularly on this website, so I'll just stick with jumpy.

fixed is a CSS tag firefox and others recognize for position. I can set an element position: fixed; and, as you say, it will stay where it is while the rest of the page scrolls. Configuring the menu, I can set position="fixed"; and the menu itself will be fixed in position like I want, but...

okay, I'm not going to post any more on this hehe. But I think I've found another solution. The dragable.js scriptlet is not obfuscated, so tweaking it would be relatively minor. Rather than trying to detect a drag event from outside, the script itself could be modified to call another function at t...

I do have another question to throw out. Would there be any way to detect a move menu event? I've got an idea or two of what to do if not, but the simplest and probably most efficient code would be to store the position right after a move event, so I just have to figure out how to detect those event...

well, 2 minutes after posting my question I may have found my own answer. :) I really did look around before asking, just not careful enough I guess. So, from the page http://www.milonic.com/menu_methods.php I learned of the gpos method which returns the current position and dimensions of any menu. ...

Remembering position of dragable menus

I've just been playing with the dragable menus and am wondering if anyone knows a way to record the top and left position of a menu after it has been dragged? I'm wanting a way to store the position in a database so the menu will remain where the user wants it when they move from page to page. The c...

Fixed position menus

I'm setting up the menu on an in-house website in which all users are required to use Firefox when accessing the website. As such, I wanted to set the menu position=fixed to avoid having the menu jump around when scrolling. This works - the menu stays in place. But, the submenu's scroll off the scre...
