Divs with position: absolute

[bennyceres]

Hi everyone,
My domain name is italiarealestate.net and the URL is http://www.italiarealestate.net/english/test.html
As you will see, on the right hand side of the page, there is a "contact us" button created with position: absolute. Ideally, I would like the button to be completely fixed so that when the page scrolls down the button stays in the middle without moving (as you will see, it is slightly shaking at present). Below follows the code:
<script>
if (!document.layers)
document.write('<div id="divStayTopLeft" style="position:absolute">')
</script>
<layer id="divStayTopLeft">
<!--EDIT BELOW CODE TO YOUR OWN MENU-->
<table border="1" width="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" bgcolor="#DF0101">
<p align="center">
<a href="http://www.italiarealestate.net/english/contactus.html">CONTACT US</a><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!--END OF EDIT-->
</layer>
　
<script type="text/javascript">

*/
//Enter "frombottom" or "fromtop"
var verticalpos="frombottom"
if (!document.layers)
document.write('</div>')
function JSFX_FloatTopDiv()
{
var startX = 3,
startY = 400;
var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1);
var d = document;
function ml(id)
{
var el=d.getElementById?d.getElementById(id):d.all?d.a ll[id]:d.layers[id];
if(d.layers)el.style=el;
el.sP=function(x,y){this.style.right=x;this.style. top=y;};
el.x = startX;
if (verticalpos=="fromtop")
el.y = startY;
else{
el.y = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight : document.body.scrollTop + document.body.clientHeight;
el.y -= startY;
}
return el;
}
window.stayTopLeft=function()
{
if (verticalpos=="fromtop"){
var pY = ns ? pageYOffset : document.body.scrollTop;
ftlObj.y += (pY + startY - ftlObj.y)/1;
}
else{
var pY = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight : document.body.scrollTop + document.body.clientHeight;
ftlObj.y += (pY - startY - ftlObj.y)/1;
}
ftlObj.sP(ftlObj.x, ftlObj.y);
setTimeout("stayTopLeft()", 10);
}
ftlObj = ml("divStayTopLeft");
stayTopLeft();
}
JSFX_FloatTopDiv();
</script>

Many thanks in advance!

Re: Divs with position: absolute

I don't think you can have it absolutely fixed as the position of the button is fixed with Javascript and the browser has a slight delay in "adjusting" the button position each time you scroll the page.

Thank you for your reply. I see your point.
Then, either I get used to it or, I guess, have to change to something else.

Re: Divs with position: absolute

You couls search for something fixed at the bottom (just like this forum has)
