if (!document.layers)
document.write('</div>')

function JSFX_FloatTopDiv()
{
var startX = 650,
startY = 400;
var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1);
var d = document;
function ml(id)
{
var

el=d.getElementById?d.getElementById(id):d.all?d.a ll[id]:d.layers[id];
if(d.layers)el.style=el;
el.sP=function(x,y){this.style.left=x;this.style.t op=y;};
el.x = startX;
if (verticalpos=="fromtop")
el.y = startY;
else{
el.y = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight : document.body.scrollTop +

document.body.clientHeight;
el.y -= startY;
}
return el;
}
window.stayTopLeft=function()
{
if (verticalpos=="fromtop"){
var pY = ns ? pageYOffset : document.body.scrollTop;
ftlObj.y += (pY + startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
}
else{
var pY = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight : document.body.scrollTop +

document.body.clientHeight;
ftlObj.y += (pY - startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
}
ftlObj.sP(ftlObj.x, ftlObj.y);
setTimeout("stayTopLeft()", 10);
}
ftlObj = ml("divStayTopLeft");
stayTopLeft();

Hi there,

Can you define "not able to save the data"? Do you get an error? If so, what error?
How is your form called? Does the form live in the same page?
How is the form named?

Side note: You may want to take a look here http://www.gazingus.org/html/Proper_...-protocol.html to find out why you shouldn't use the "statement label" JavaScript: in the onclick handlers of your <a> elements.

Cheers,

Imar

While typing this post, I was listening to: Finale (Allegro energico) by Mendelssohn & Bruch (Track 6 from the album: Violinkonzerte - Hoelscher)

thanx imar for ur reply. but i have cracked it ..istead of links i placed buttons on the layer(floating menu) and now its working..the prblm tht i was facing was that the code for saving the data from the form to the database was written in vb script..and the floating menu was creatd in javascript..so i was not able to call the vbscript function for saving the data..also was not able to save the data with javascript alone.so now with the help of buttons i was able call the vbscript function..the correct code is given below..this is working but if u find any flaw do give a reply and yes thanx for ur guidance on the statement label thing.i have read the thing and will definitly use it properly in future.
