OK, well I'm trying to create an effect where you have a toolbar on the bottom of the page, and I need the toolbar to stay there when you navigate to different pages. I know how to position it there, but I don't know how to keep the same instance of the toolbar there when navigating to a different page. If you want an example for reference, Facebook's bottom bar (with apps, friends, and notifications) is similar to what I want to achieve.
this will work in firefox 2.0:
js code: test.js
/* -*- c++ -*-
*/
function build_footer_bar(){
var footer = document.createElement('div');
footer.setAttribute('id','footer');
// create the bar content
var something = document.createTextNode('footer bar content here...');
// add inner content
footer.appendChild(something);
return footer;
};
function add_footer(){
var b = document.getElementsByTagName('body');
b = b[0];
var footer = build_footer_bar();
b.appendChild(footer);
};
window.onload = add_footer;
css: test.css
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
body { padding: 1.0em; }
#footer { position: absolute; bottom: 1.0em; }
xhtml:
