hovering navigation div

jwalker80 · #1 (**permalink**) Feb 22nd, 2007, 14:07

Hi,

Does anyone know way to "hover" a div along the bottom of a page above all other content so that when you scroll down the page it stays static on the bottom of the page, while everything else scrolls.

Im not sure if you can do this in CSS, maybe you need JS??

By using position: fixed it works in all the good browsers. To compensate for IE6's lack of ... well ... everything, you need javascript yes...

No you don't need JavaScript.

Use position: fixed;

You can do it with JS, but it looks MUCH better using CSS.

Let me re-phrase that

Ryan ... position: fixed; doesn't work in IE6 unless you hack it to death

Bah ... what's one more hack eh?

Gotta do what you have to do as long as it's a graceful degradation.
