</div>Unfortunately, this doesn't work with JavaScript turned off (there is<br>
no scrollbar, so you can't view anything after the first screenful).<br>
<br>
I don't want to sound unappreciative of Seb's efforts, but this seems<br>
complicated for a project that doesn't have strict visual layout<br>
requirements. (I understand that many corporate communications offices<br>
have rules about how far text must be from company logos, etc., but we<br>
are looking for something simple and maintainable.)<br>

while the advantage of JS in the HCL is clear (and a fallback for non enabled JS browser is easy to address here, and plannd), it introduces too many workaround to address various exceptions (anchors, ie6, general layout, ...).<br>
<br>the main point when choosing that approach vs the table one was to have the menu always visible.<br><br></div></div>I'll try to check with Seb to apply the 3rd (attached) layout, with scrollable layout-banner and layout-content. that way, we should overcome the "JS everywhere need" (apart from ie6, but that is acceptable) while keeping the menu always visible.<br>
