No Frames, But Still A Nice Menu?

Recommended Posts

Hi,So apparently frames are not done anymore. The nice thing about frames was, that you could have a nice menu, which was always positioned at the same spot. I am currently constructing a Joomla page, as I am working on a website that has to be eddited by people that don't know too much about html. Is there any way to get a menu that does not move while scrolling down? Please help.Marco

is this what you want? the menu goes down as you scroll the page..if you need more help, just reply back here :lol:

 

It is getting close. The only thing I would prefer is that you don't see any movement. I just want a static menu that is not moving, but which stays positioned at one particular spot on the page.

What I mean is, that I want the menu to stay in place also when I scroll down.

That is exactly what I am looking for. I just hope they don't fix the IE6 "bug" that makes this possible. Also, I started with my post that frames are no longer used a lot. Why is that anyway!

Couple of reasons.
Mostly because the W3c says they aren't or won't be allowed. Also, you can not bookmark a framed site properly. It always records the Index page and not the page you are actually looking at. If you are at the page http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, it would record http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or something like that, and not the detailed page you were viewing.
Additionally, this makes the site NOT Search Engine Friendly.

This site can teach different ways to set up a nav menu, like php, dhtml and even javascript.
