Follow the steps given below to add the Floating Box to your website.
First Step: Copy this code to the head section of your website page where you want the floating box to appear.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

Second Step: Copy this code to the body section of your page for position demonstration purpose only.
<center>
<div style="width:520px; padding:20px; border: 5px solid #F6F6F6;" align="center">
Float Box Position<br clear="all"><br clear="all">
<div style="width:150px; float:left;padding:10px;border:1px solid #E1E1E1;" align="center"><a href="javascript:void(0);" style="text-decoration:none;" onClick="halign='left'; valign='top'; define(); return false;">TOP LEFT</a></div>
<div style="width:150px; float:left;padding:10px;border: 1px solid #E1E1E1;" align="center"><a href="javascript:void(0);" style="text-decoration:none;" onClick="halign='center'; valign='top'; define(); return false;">TOP CENTER</a></div>
<div style="width:150px; float:left;padding:10px;border: 1px solid #E1E1E1;" align="center"><a href="javascript:void(0);" style="text-decoration:none;" onClick="halign='right'; valign='top'; define(); return false;">TOP RIGHT</a></div>
<br clear="all">

<div style="width:150px; float:left;padding:10px;border: 1px solid #E1E1E1;" align="center"><a href="javascript:void(0);" style="text-decoration:none;" onClick="halign='right'; valign='center'; define(); return false;">MIDDLE RIGHT</a></div>
<br clear="all">
<div style="width:150px; float:left;padding:10px;border: 1px solid #E1E1E1;" align="center"><a href="javascript:void(0);" style="text-decoration:none;" onClick="halign='left'; valign='bottom'; define(); return false;">BOTTOM LEFT</a></div>

<br clear="all"><br clear="all">
<div style="width:520px; padding:20px; border: 5px solid #F6F6F6;" align="center">

<br clear="all">
</div><br clear="all"><br clear="all">
</center>
Third Step: Copy this code to the bottom of your website page (insert it just before the final closing </BODY> tag.)
<script> if (NS4) { document.write('<LAYER NAME="floatlayer" LEFT="'+floatX+'" TOP="'+floatY+'">'); }
if ((IE4) || (NS6)) { document.write('<div id="floatlayer" style="position:absolute; left:'+floatX+'; top:'+floatY+';">'); } </script>
<div style="width:300px; height:200px; background:#CCC">
<p style="padding-top:80px;" align="center">YOUR FLOATING CONTENT GOES IN THIS BOX</p>
</div>
<script>
if (NS4) { document.write('</LAYER>'); }
if ((IE4) || (NS6)) { document.write('</DIV>'); }
ifloatX = floatX;
ifloatY = floatY;
define();
window.onresize=define;
lastX=-1;
lastY=-1;
Floating_Contents();
</script>
Finally: you need to customize the parameters.:
|
floatX=10; floatY=10; layerwidth=100; layerheight=130; halign="center"; valign="center"; delayspeed=3; |
| Parameters | Descriptions | Values |
| floatX | Defines the horizontal distance from the border. | positive numbers. |
| floatY | Defines the vertical distance from the border. | positive numbers. |
| layerwidth | Defines the width of the menu layer. | positive numbers. |
| layerheight | Defines the height of the menu layer. | positive numbers. |
| halign | Defines which border floatX should be counted from. | left center right. |
| valign | Defines which border floatY should be counted from. | top center bottom. |
| delayspeed | Defines the time delay before the layer's position is updated. | If set to 0 (zero) the layer will move to its correct position immediately. If set to a value the layer will be slightly delayed before moving to its correct position.(Do not set to values beyond 3). |
That's it guys...
