:p Thanks!

[Oscar]

No problemo!

It seems you want to make a rather simple site, so why not make it a bit like this:
The Wai Site? Very simple. Of course very crude too, because I did things rather quickly just to illustrate what I mean.

Don't click on WaiBook, WaiTalk, or the flags, they don't go anywhere...

It seems you want to make a rather simple site

Yes!!

, so why not make it a bit like this:
The Wai Site

Thank you Oscar, but what I'm aiming at, is a floating navigation bar.

[Oscar]

A bar at the bottom or top of the page, or a floating menu on the left?
I was doing it more because of the layout actually.

Hi RRM,
I've looked at both the current and "The Wai Site" layouts.
As far as the layout goes, I prefer Oscar's to be honest. I don't quite picture what you mean about a floating navigation bar, but then again, I'm not so good at the technical side. Isn't it the same thing as having the left menu visible/accessible while reading any part of the site? This, seems like a good idea.

[Oscar]

Is this what you mean?
Test Menu Page

Oscar,

I like yours too! However, I don't like the blue color of the font and blue bar. It doesn't gel well with the black.

Also, I think when RRM says floating menu, he means that the sidebar will scroll when the viewer scrolls down as well, so that it is also there on the left side. It's like a menu with frames, but without using the standard frames format. I know CSS gives you the capability to have a layer scroll with the content.

What program did you use?

Otherwise, its good.

[Oscar]

Thanks Nick. Never mind the colors, I just made them up in relation to the colors RRM used on his page. Particulars and details still have to be decided, but it's the general layout which I wanted to suggest. Did you try my Test Menu Page (my previous post)? I used Dreamweaver.

[nick]

Sweet!!! I tried it first in Safari, but it didn't work, then I tried it in Explorer.

That is perfec Oscar! How did you do that exactly..CSS?

That is perfect, have it on every page.

What do you think RRM?

[Oscar]

It's done using Javascript, but I just used the code from someone else.

[RRM]

Thats very good Oscar!
But, when I scroll down the page, the floating menu bar floats kind of 'jibberish' / 'in Parkinson's mode', do you experience the same? Or is it due to some settings in my browser?

[Oscar]

Maybe the timeout setting was too high for your internet speed...I minimized it. Is it better now?

[RRM]

Now its more like a tennisball right before the service... (tap tap tap... plok!)
(only if I use the mouse to scroll down the page)

[RRM]

PS, this site has an impressive multi-layer navigation bar, using javascript, right?
see: "voeding" > "vitamines & mineralen" >

BTW; the guy in the pic is also multi-layered; ouch!

[Oscar]

Well, there are several ways of doing a menu...a multilayered one could be a bit like this: MultiLayer Menu Test

Make up your mind!
