Hi David, Thank you for your reply. I *think* I understand what you say about the CSS based approach (which is the one I have to use as redesigning the form for the client would be too big a change at present.)
I'd like to confirm one thing though before I buy that book: >> I'd suggest looking up the 'position:fixed' style. Do you mean that the "position:fixed" style will keep the button fixed in the visible browser pane, regardless of me scrolling? rgds Paul On Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 11:44 AM, David Legg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi Paul, > > I have a Loooonnnng CForm and the client would like the "Save" button to >> float so that it is always visible? >> > > I should think your best bet would be to use a CSS stylesheet to fix the > position of the save button.
