Hi, Richard, and thanks for the reply.
I had tried that very approach with this line: var scrollTopPosition = $(window).scrollTop(); but when I run the code (full code below), I get an error in Firebug that "$(window).scrollTop(); is not a function" Well.I just found the answer. I was using an older version of jQuery that I have in a "misc" folder for code tests. Apparently .scrollTop(); wasn't a function in that version. Thanks for verifying an approach I took, causing me to dig harder for the answer! Rick From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard D.

I found "getScrollTop();", but couldn't make that work. I checked out jQuery's "scrollTop", but that get the y position or offset of a matched element. Suggestions on how to dynamically calculate this?
