Yah I’ve been looking for a script like this that can be told to stop at a certain point – most likely at some distance from the top or from the bottom. How easy would it be to add that to the script?

Any suggestions how I can use this to have it float over a table?

Thanks

Hello,
i have a question, could you help me, please?
I’d need to stop this menu at bottom of the page, before of footer.
Could you tell me the java code to do it?
Thank you so much

Hi David,
Thanks alot for this cute scroller class.
I used it.
I had a main question about Mootools (or Javascript) which I found it again in your code:

initialize: function(menu, options) {
/* initial options */
this.setOptions(options);
this.menu = $(menu);
}

In initialize function you set this.menu with a reference to menu element. I want to know if this is a performance issue or not?
I usually use element id instead of element reference, and when I need it use $ function to get element.
Which is better? use $ function one time and store a reference to element in class or store a string (id) and then use $ function whenever you need it?

BTW: I read an article about javascript garbage collection a few month ago, and there, he said about DOM element references and events and confusing browsers garbage collection method.

This is a question which conflicts me! Help me please.

Thank you.

Nice!
Is there anyway to make the scroller start after some defined height or stop after some defined position?

I agree with the consensus, this is the type of scroll that gives you the same feeling as your psycho ex – it just wont leave u alone!!!

Yeah, I guess im not really a fan of these either.

But… David, if you could figure out a way to make a the browser back buttons scroll back the position it was at, you would have a winner.

@Marcus If you want to not store all the anchors in the history (but still want them for bookmark purposes) you can use document.location.replace, but it wont work in webkit browsers(still adds a history item).
