Ok, I downloaded a JS for use on my active desktop, It is a nice little menu bar deal. My problem is that I can't figuare out how to modify it so that the bar is displayed where I want it (vertically) along the left side of the screen. Currently is is about 1/3rd the way down. I just can't seem to figuare out who to adjust the vertical position.

Here is the JS code:


NS6 = (document.getElementById&&!document.all)
IE = (document.all)
NS = (navigator.appName=="Netscape" && navigator.appVersion.charAt(0)=="4")

tempBar='';barBuilt=0;ssmItems=new Array();

moving=setTimeout('null',1)
function moveOut() {
if ((NS6||NS)&&parseInt(ssm.left)<0 || IE && ssm.pixelLeft<0) {
clearTimeout(moving);moving = setTimeout('moveOut()', slideSpeed);slideMenu(10)}
else {clearTimeout(moving);moving=setTimeout('null',1)}};
function moveBack() {clearTimeout(moving);moving = setTimeout('moveBack1()', waitTime)}
function moveBack1() {
if ((NS6||NS) && parseInt(ssm.left)>(-menuWidth) || IE && ssm.pixelLeft>(-menuWidth)) {
clearTimeout(moving);moving = setTimeout('moveBack1()', slideSpeed);slideMenu(-10)}
else {clearTimeout(moving);moving=setTimeout('null',1)}}
function slideMenu(num){
if (IE) {ssm.pixelLeft += num;}
if (NS||NS6) {ssm.left = parseInt(ssm.left)+num;}
if (NS) {bssm.clip.right+=num;bssm2.clip.right+=num;}}

function makeStatic() {
if (NS||NS6) {winY = window.pageYOffset;}
if (IE) {winY = document.body.scrollTop;}
if (NS6||IE||NS) {
if (winY!=lastY&&winY>YOffset-staticYOffset) {
smooth = .2 * (winY - lastY - YOffset + staticYOffset);}
else if (YOffset-staticYOffset+lastY>YOffset-staticYOffset) {
smooth = .2 * (winY - lastY - (YOffset-(YOffset-winY)));}
else {smooth=0}
if(smooth > 0) smooth = Math.ceil(smooth);
else smooth = Math.floor(smooth);
if (IE) bssm.pixelTop+=smooth;
if (NS6||NS) bssm.top=parseInt(bssm.top)+smooth
lastY = lastY+smooth;
setTimeout('makeStatic()', 1)}}

function buildBar() {
if(barText.indexOf('<IMG')>-1) {tempBar=barText}
else{for (b=0;b<barText.length;b++) {tempBar+=barText.charAt(b)+"<BR>"}}
document.write('<td align="center" rowspan="100" width="'+barWidth+'" bgcolor="'+barBGColor+'" valign="'+barVAlign+'"><p align="center"><font face="'+barFontFamily+'" Size="'+barFontSize+'" COLOR="'+barFontColor+'"><B>'+tempBar+'</B></font></p></TD>')}

function initSlide() {
if (NS6){ssm=document.getElementById("thessm").style;bssm=document.getElementById("basessm").style;
bssm.clip="rect(0 "+document.getElementById("thessm").offsetWidth+" "+document.getElementById("thessm").offsetHeight+" 0)";ssm.visibility="visible";}
else if (IE) {ssm=document.all("thessm").style;bssm=document.all("basessm").style
bssm.clip="rect(0 "+thessm.offsetWidth+" "+thessm.offsetHeight+" 0)";bssm.visibility = "visible";}
else if (NS) {bssm=document.layers["basessm1"];
bssm2=bssm.document.layers["basessm2"];ssm=bssm2.document.layers["thessm"];
bssm2.clip.left=0;ssm.visibility = "show";}
if (menuIsStatic=="yes") makeStatic();}

function buildMenu() {
if (IE||NS6) {document.write('<DIV ID="basessm" style="visibility:hidden;Position : Absolute ;Left : '+XOffset+' ;Top : '+YOffset+' ;Z-Index : 20;width:'+(menuWidth+barWidth+10)+'"><DIV ID="thessm" style="Position : Absolute ;Left : '+(-menuWidth)+' ;Top : 0 ;Z-Index : 20;" onmouseover="moveOut()" onmouseout="moveBack()">')}
if (NS) {document.write('<LAYER name="basessm1" top="'+YOffset+'" LEFT='+XOffset+' visibility="show"><ILAYER name="basessm2"><LAYER visibility="hide" name="thessm" bgcolor="'+menuBGColor+'" left="'+(-menuWidth)+'" onmouseover="moveOut()" onmouseout="moveBack()">')}
if (NS6){document.write('<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="'+(menuWidth+barWidth+2)+'" bgcolor="'+menuBGColor+'"><TR><TD>')}
document.write('<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" width="'+(menuWidth+barWidth+2)+'" bgcolor="'+menuBGColor+'">');
for(i=0;i<ssmItems.length;i++) {
if(!ssmItems[3]){ssmItems[3]=menuCols;ssmItems[5]=menuWidth-1}
else if(ssmItems[3]!=menuCols)ssmItems[5]=Math.round(menuWidth*(ssmItems[3]/menuCols)-1);
if(ssmItems[i-1]&&ssmItems[i-1][4]!="no"){document.write('<TR>')}
if(!ssmItems[1]){
document.write('<td bgcolor="'+hdrBGColor+'" HEIGHT="'+hdrHeight+'" ALIGN="'+hdrAlign+'" VALIGN="'+hdrVAlign+'" WIDTH="'+ssmItems[5]+'" COLSPAN="'+ssmItems[3]+'">&nbsp;<font face="'+hdrFontFamily+'" Size="'+hdrFontSize+'" COLOR="'+hdrFontColor+'"><b>'+ssmItems[0]+'</b></font></td>')}
else {if(!ssmItems[2])ssmItems[2]=linkTarget;
document.write('<TD BGCOLOR="'+linkBGColor+'" onmouseover="bgColor=\''+linkOverBGColor+'\'" onmouseout="bgColor=\''+linkBGColor+'\'" WIDTH="'+ssmItems[5]+'" COLSPAN="'+ssmItems[3]+'"><ILAYER><LAYER onmouseover="bgColor=\''+linkOverBGColor+'\'" onmouseout="bgColor=\''+linkBGColor+'\'" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="'+linkAlign+'"><DIV ALIGN="'+linkAlign+'"><FONT face="'+linkFontFamily+'" Size="'+linkFontSize+'">&nbsp;<A HREF="'+ssmItems[1]+'" target="'+ssmItems[2]+'" CLASS="ssmItems">'+ssmItems[0]+'</DIV></LAYER></ILAYER></TD>')}
if(ssmItems[4]!="no"&&barBuilt==0){buildBar();barBuilt=1}
if(ssmItems[4]!="no"){document.write('</TR>')}}
document.write('</table>')
if (NS6){document.write('</TD></TR></TABLE>')}
if (IE||NS6) {document.write('</DIV></DIV>')}
if (NS) {document.write('</LAYER></ILAYER></LAYER>')}
theleft=-menuWidth;lastY=0;setTimeout('initSlide();', 1)}
 
Here is a screen shot of what I am talking about. The White arrow shows where the top of the meun box starts currently and the red arrow is where I would like the top to start.
 
nevermind, fixed it. It always happens that way, everytime I finnaly give up, and post it for help, I luck into the answer.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
