Floating Nav Bar

[Al Boad]

Let me preface by saying that I'm no web expert. I'm using FP200 with
Arcs Theme. I'm trying to get my left side veritcal navigation bar to
float with the page as the page gets scrolled down. When I pull up the
CSS tags, FP will not allow me to edit them.

Thanks In Advance

Making assumptions - the CSS is in an external file (styles.css) and
you are editing in FrontPage?
There is a known bug that causes FP2000 to crash when editing CSS
files. Instead use Notepad.
You can set up Notepad as the CSS editor using Tools->Options -
Configure Editors tab
Highlight the css extension and click Modify - fill in the path to
Notepad. (usually C:\Windows\Notepad.exe)

Or if trying to edit the FP theme CSS you need to do it in
Format Theme Modify/Customize Text more text styles

FYI
FP Theme CSS will override (cascade) other external style sheets
- since they are loaded last

Thanks Ronx, I can now edit CSS extensions. But what extension should
use to get the nav bar to float? I've played with "absolute" an
"relative" positioning but the nav bar seems to be fixed.

To float the navbar you need a combination of CSS and JavaScript. Do
a search for floating divs.
The floating navigation I have seen have been jerky in operation, and
do little or nothing for the site.
