Floating Panel/Div's and Doctype

CMM

Has any one gotten a "stay-in-view" floating div to work in ASP.NET 2.0?
For those that don't know, the classic way is this (for IE anyway):
(window.onscrol l...)
document.all.To olbar.style.pix elTop = document.body.s crollTop;
But, this doesn't seem to work in any way with ASP.NET 2.0. The problem
seems to lay in ASP.NET 2.0's default doctype...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">

I'd like to keep using this doctype because it helps with rendering tables
consistently across browsers.... anyone know of a way to get
"onscroll...pix elTop = document.body.s crollTop" to work?

Found the answer to my own question (after many hours).
Instead of using document.body.s crollTop...
W3C standards call for document.docume ntElement.scrol lTop
I wonder how IE 5.5 reacts to this?

Classic was a percentage top value.
Use a frame they render so much nicer.

use

var doc = document.docume ntElement ? document.docume ntElement :
document.body;
....Toolbar.sty le.pixelTop = doc.scrollTop

if you're worried about backward compatibility.

document.all is likewise deprecated, so use the equivalent
var Toolbar = document.getEle mentById?
document.getEle mentById("toolb arId") :
document.all.To olbar;

Frames are a hassle. The toolbar needs easy access to and interact with the
elements on the page. I experimenting with all sorts of combinations using
scrollable div regions but could never get the placement quite right so that
TopPanel took up the top n-pixels and BodyPanel took up the entire rest of
the page without spilling past the viewable region and triggering the
browser's own scrollbars. I know this is a classic problem and there are all
sorts of JavaScripts to adjust div positions on window.onresize and
window.scroll. It's a big mess.

I've seen the Coalesys PanelSet control....but I'm not paying hundreds of
dollars for something that I feel should be easily accomplished in ASP.NET
proper (well, the sizable-splitter in PanelSet is cool... maybe that's worth
it.... but I don't need a splitter, I just need dockable-esque panels).

CSS floating element doesn't wrap

floating divs

I'm having trouble between IE and FF. For once, IE behaves as I would expect, but FF doesn't. Basically I have a container with two floating DIVs in it. One floats left and the other right. I then have a table which should fill between the two floating DIVs if there is space. If there's not space, it should push down and display as a separately centered table. IE (7) behaves as I would expect, but FF seems to overlay the right side of the...

Divs not floating properly

The main content area on the right is floating right and stays fine. The weird part is that a refresh will always correct this problem. and the problem will not occur on all the pages though they have identical set-ups. The site is at...
