Hmmm...I hadn't been to www.netscape.com since it became a "portal".
Yikes...they sure do make it hard to get to the company stuff, don't they?
Can't wait to see what happens when one of the usability folks reviews the
site.

It's on the "DevEdge" version of the Netscape site. Go to
http://developer.netscape.com/index.html then find the DevEdge article
entitled "Drifting Layers". You can get to it from within the DevEdge site
by clicking on Technologies link (left frame), then Dynamic HTML, then page
down to "Drifting Layers: Keeping Important Elements Visible" link. You can
also click "Open Studio" in the left frame (
http://developer.netscape.com/openstudio/home2.html ), and the link is
somewhere in the list of current articles. (Don't get distracted by the
"Soccer Loss + Hair Loss = Effective Ad" article -- it's down further than
that.)

Definitely a coder's idea of a good name -- sounds just like something my
husband would think up!
I just can't see me telling a client that I can do stalker menubars. Sure,
drifting layers has a bubblegum factor, but at least it won't scare off my
clients!
