Hi Pierre and RCSD,
The problem with Alyn's proposal is not that it takes too much space
on the screen, today's screens being quite large. The problem is a
rather ergonomic one, the movement of large blocks of text being per
se somehow disturbing.
The wishes of users are very different, and often contradictory.
Those who really feel "offended" by a particular implementation are,
IMHO, in the situation that I describe in what follows. When I was
about 30 years old, and I was sitting in a crowded bus, I noticed a
lady, in her late 50th, who was standing near me. Naturally, I stood
up and offered her my place but, to my big surprise, she took an
offended look and admonished me, by shouting that she is not so old
to sit. This was my "reward" for trying to be useful...
:-)))
Well, I don't want to be stubborn either, and for this reason if
several readers nevertheless let me know that they feel offended by
the movement of this navbar too, then I will glue it with two hinges
to the top of the scrolling pages (which, btw, is the easiest way).

Personnally I am still disturbed by the fact that, when one scroll the
useful window, the navbar disappeares and comes back at each
movement of the main window.
Why not transforming the navbar into an upper window (height :
one line) and render it never ever moving or disappearing or
blinking or ... what else
???
:-)
Here is what I have written when answering to Bill, in this thread:
The "simple" idea is to create a fixed region, in my case on the top of all
pages and to put the navbar there. But how to do it in a simple way? The
simplest is to use frames but they have many, known disadvantages. Another
solution is to use SSI, but one has to get access to them on the server
which is another pain. I have tried something by using CSS but so far
unsuccessfully, because I couldn't run the navbar's JS code in it.
An easy solution is welcomed.
If any others (Alyn did it already) were commenting also on the
contents of the page, which I'm trying to improve, then I would be
even more grateful. Many TIA.
I will do this as well but a little bit later, Victor. And preferably on
FRP as I will be able to express myself more easily (as it will be in
French :-)
Thanks in advance, Pierre. You know that I love French too.
