Thanks Steve

One problem though, why is it displacing like this .... ?

**steve.ledger** · 11 June 2010, 06:36 AM

No problem at all John. It's exactly where it is supposed to be

The static object is supposed to be fixed (stuck) top left of the browser window always. No matter how wide the browser window or the scrolling of the general page content.

Ah, gotcha! Thanks. Thought it was something I'd done

Maybe this makes more sense John ?

Yeah, I get the idea now ... just not very awake yet. Thinking on it, object could be very useful for me as a floating 'home' - or wherever - link on long pages of text instead of getting user to scroll back up or down or using space on the page itself. Thanks

Hi,
keep in mind, that the fixed position is depend of the position of the graphic on your page. If you place the graphic at x=200px and y=200px on Sledgers example, the fixed graphic will be placed at 198px from left and 161px from top of the browser window (viewport). You can place the graphic somewhere on your page and override this position if you place the following code in your <head> placeholder:

This place the fixed graphic at 200px from left and 200px from top.

Xara Xtreme can do ???

sample please

Sorry, no.
WD6 and above

EDIT: Actually you can use this if you have the WD5 tweakset installed in Xtreme 5. You need the nopageclipping tweak.
