followscroll doesn't follow horizontally???

Post by mrzeld »

in my menu code i have set

Code: Select all

followscroll="1";
if the page scrolls vertically, the menu will follow as you go down the page. if you scroll horizontally, the menu doesn't follow.

here is an example (make sure your browswer's window is small enough that both the vertical and horizontal scroll bars appear on the window)

http://www.stuff.to/menu

oh, i am using (have to use) IE 6.0.

is there a way to make the menu follow horizontally. i have a page on my site that would best be displayed in a horizontal layout rather than vertical.

thanks,
Jason

Yes, it does not. :roll: AFAIK, there is no way to get the menu to do that (unless Kevin writes a function!). Typically, a page design that requires horizontal scrolling, as well as vertical, is not a good idea. I realize that sometimes we are forced into it, but your description sounds like it's pretty wide.

thanks for the reply.

the page has very little (if any depending on browser size) vertical scrolling. the page is design for an 800x600 screen and displays a very wide table. i could do i veritcally (with no horizontal scroll), but (to me anyways) the information is easier to comprehend in the horizontal layout. well... i will leave it to the higher powers that be.

thanks again.
