Wierd or what?

Hi folks have just uploaded this site which has started acting funny on a couple of pages.northbromyardgrouppc.com
I have made the title and the menu on the left had side sticky to allow for scrolling pages of different lengths in future. When tested all worked fine. Uploaded it today and now on two of the pages (diary and archives) the menu appears to have somehow shifted up to a new position whilst remaining sticky. Only thing that has happened is the xara pro 11 update today. Now in review on my computer the fault also occurs.

Any ideas?

Hopeful as always

Weird.

Do you have repel text under on the "Edvin Loach & Saltmarshe Tedstone Delamere Tedstone WafreUpper Sapey and Wolferlow" prose?

Maybe I had the same problem. Somehow for my stickie Xara seemed to have ignored the position on page option.
As you can see on the mentioned pages the menu moves with the bottom of the browser window when you resize it.
Can you try increasing the height of the page so that the center of the menu will be above the center of the page (in your design file) and then check in preview if the problem has gone?

Checked out all the graphics to see if there was any repel but none set as such Acorn. Went to Siran's suggestion and increased the height of the page and by inference the difference between the footer graphic and the menu and this seems to have done the trick. Cannot understand why this happens(Xara glitch perhaps?) but worth noting for future designs if there is a relationship of stickies position being calculated as a proportion of the page or an exact measurement. I assume something to do with flexibility to accommodate different screen sizes.

Thanks guys, It's always the funny ones that have the most time spent on them

Ken, good to come back. As you say, it's the oddball effects that take the time to resolve.
