Sorry, it's incredibly hard to explain what I want to do, because it's a new
web site project that is copyright and has to remain confidential
intellectual property. I have uploaded an *example* of the *sort of thing*
I need to achieve, but that example is nothing to do with the finished idea.
All I wanted was for the main page not to scroll when jumping within the
iframe. That's all.
What you have done is propose 2 ways of it not scrolling quite so much. 1
way it scrolls a little way down but not as far. The other way, it stays at
the top of the image components you inserted.
So, ideally 'A' the page would remain in the same position, as for reasons
again I won't go into, it will be lined up nicely when they arrive at the
page. And 'B' that position will show the text/map at the top of the
*iframe* (not the window).

No, I said "you've achieved a similar thing", not the same thing. I think
the trouble here is partly I can't give away 100% of the information, and
also people maybe don't have time to read fully. I shouldn't expect much as
I'm not paying you! :P

As I have now clarified, and as I said when I uploaded the example a couple
of days ago, it is just an example, it is not the actual site I am
designing.

I'm interested in knowing how you achieved it. I don't claim to be a
computer or web page programmer, so what method is your code employing?
I've had a look at it and I can't fathom out how you've got the components
to stay in place at the top.

So I couldn't get a 3D border (light top & left border, dark bottom &
right)?
The other Q - if you have a mo - is: Is there an easy way to 'copy & paste'
my current iframe contents into your version of the panorama box? The
problem is, my current image has not just 2 layout cells on it saying
'start' and 'end', but about 15 layout cells, and 30 hotspot hyperlinks.
Any easy way to 'dump' that inside your solution, straight out of my iframe?

So are you.

Sorry, what can I say, I'm a trouble-maker.
Hopefully one day you'll find my site when it takes over the world, and
realise what 'that guy' was trying to achieve! I'll try to remember to give
you the URL when it launches.
