Creating a fixed sidebar, help please.

[Burnley84]

Hi i'm wondering how easy it is to make a fixed sidebar or whatever the proper name for it is, like on the xara website. http://www.xara.com/uk

i'm using xwd7p.

Thanks for any help in advance.

• Name the object/group "fixed"
• Uncheck clip to page edges
• Add the following code to the "head" in all pages

<style type="text/css">
#fixed{
position:fixed;
}
</style>

hi drwyd,

thanks for your quick reply. just done it and works great, easy when you know i guess!

the only thing is it works on the left hand side but not on the right is it different code or am i doing something wrong if i want it on the right?

Gonna have to save these little tips and codes somewhere.

Thanks again

Anthony

Attaching it to the right side, if I recall, will require some scripting.

Edit:
Just remembered Steve Ledger's excellent Right Side Tab tweak. Had it in my design gallery tweaks

Cheers Drwyd, im gonna save that in my design gallery tweaks too.

is there anywhere on here that has all those tweaks? i know theres the sticky tweakset at the top but would be really useful if there was somewhere for the rest.


Thanks again.

Only what we have already but that may change. We are working hard behind the scenes, as always , to improve TG

Thanks Drwyd, but this was the work of Covoxer, not me.
You can even place tabs on both sides of the page if you wish.
