Hi

How do I prevent an area of a window from scrolling? I know I could use frames, however I am using frames already. In the "_main" frame (I have a top frame and a main frame) I have a "toolbar" of images and when the user scrolls down the page I always want this toolbar visible.

I assume I could use frames within frames, but this is complicated and also requires me to communicate between frames (buttons on the toolbar usually submit the main page as I am using PHP to access a database).

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi activeX

Thanks for the info, I checked out the link and it looks very useful. In fact I am developing an application that will only be used on IE, so that restriction is no problem.

I haven't experimented yet, but do you know of a way to make an object (in my case a "toolbar") at the top of the page fixed and when you scroll the page below it scrolls up without scrolling over the toolbar? I.e. much like you can scroll a browser window and it scrolls "under" the browser toolbar/menu/address bar.

Thanks again.
Richard
