skyscraper ad staying on current page

[newb guy]

Hi,
I am interested in javascript that allows a banner ad (a skyscraper) to
alwas stay on-page even if user scrolls down (so the banner slides down as
well). I googled for it alrady, but could not figure.

please help or provide url references to examples of this.

You can use CSS position: fixed for browsers that support it. For those
that don't, there's script or frames. In general, such things are not
liked.

CSS position fixed:
<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#propdef-position>

Discuss frames in:
<URL:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html>

Search the CLJ archives for script solutions using scrollTop and
pageYOffset - but you'll find they leave a lot to be desired.

What you're referencing is usually called a watermark done with dhtml.
The code and tutorial are found here:

Or none of the above :)

I beg your pardon?

And for borken UAs:

Sorry, I have no resources in English language about this, maybe Google
helps (even if it is only its translation service). But I think you get
the idea anyway.

Will not work, for it is no URL.

news:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html (ciwah)

should work almost always. position:fixed and CSS in general can be
discussed in

Banners that stay fixed at the top of the window (or other places) are
annoying. I can understand why it has been added to the list of CSS
properties, but useful applications of it are limited. It's one of
those 'sounds like a good idea' things that in practice tend not to work.

Yes, dunno what I was thinking... :-)

You will find that _for example_ <URL:http://www.w3.org/Style/> disagrees.
