DHTML Floating Content

On my ASPX page I want a floating div that stays stationary as I scroll the content down.

I've grabbed the code and .js from - great script. Works fine if I change my file extension to .htm but craps out when it's .aspx!

I even changed the js to use getElementByID - still no go. Works fine in .htm, not .aspx.

The content does drop down, properly, but it's as though the window scroll event isn't getting picked up.

I tried the same with the code at . Same issue. The floating content does move up and down, but does not reposition when I scroll the screen.

Any tips please?


Thanks!

hmm,

thats strange, i would like to know if:
1. the DIV is a server control?
2. Does it use any JS functions that are used by ASP.NET (e.g: __doPostBack() etc).
3. Any global variables used by ASP.NET?

it would be great if you can give us a demo URL (of your code)...

Use the .js from the link above for this...

Run as .html then try as .aspx. See the difference.


Code: 
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"[/URL] >
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
    <script SRC="dhtmllib2.js"></script>
    <SCRIPT>
    <!--
    // How many pixels from the top to display the content
    var topOffset = 480

    function keepAlive() {
	    // Move the content into view
	    document.all.navBar.style.pixelTop = document.body.scrollTop + topOffset
    }

    function doLoad() {
	    // Initialize DHTMLLib
	    setup()
	    // When the page scrolls, move the content
	    window.onscroll = keepAlive;
	    // Initialize the position
	    keepAlive()
    }
    window.onload = doLoad;
    // -->
    </script>




    <STYLE>
      #navBar {position: absolute;
        top: 550px; left: 150px; width: 170px}
    </STYLE>

</head>
<body bgcolor="aaaaff">

        <h1>.aspx</h1>

hi,

I had no problems at all.

Browser used:
IE 6.0.2900 (SP2)

I converted the same into an ASPX.


Code of my ASPX page:
Code: 
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="TestMenu.aspx.vb" Inherits="TestApp.TestMenu"%>
<HTML>
	<HEAD id="Head1">
		<title>Untitled Page</title>
		<script SRC="dhtmllib2.js"></script>
		<SCRIPT>
    <!--
    // How many pixels from the top to display the content
    var topOffset = 480

    function keepAlive() {
        // Move the content into view
        document.all.navBar.style.pixelTop = document.body.scrollTop + topOffset
    }

    function doLoad() {
        // Initialize DHTMLLib
        setup()
        // When the page scrolls, move the content
        window.onscroll = keepAlive;
        // Initialize the position
        keepAlive()
    }
    window.onload = doLoad;
    // -->
		</SCRIPT>
		<STYLE>
      #navBar { LEFT: 150px; WIDTH: 170px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 550px }
		</STYLE>
	</HEAD>
	<body bgcolor="#aaaaff">
	<form runat=server>
