looking for an add-on that will slide a block of content as user scrolls down

Permalink
It seems like there must be an add-on like this, but all the search terms I can think up don't show me one :)

What I'd like to do, is have a 2 column page, and have a standard 'content' block within an add-on that will slide the content down the page as the user scrolls down the primary page content.

Does anyone know of an add-on like this?

Thanks so much!

so the block in one column stays with a user ?

I think want you want is called a "fixed" div

basically it inst the block or an add-on its the theme that tells a custom block where to be

something like this

or

If you want a custom block to behave like that you would put a NewArea block in that area instead of text like the examples have - then c5 will allow you to add any block you want

*There maybe a theme that dose this, Im not sure if this is exactly what you are trying to do but it seems like it

Thanks Sheldon :)

Yes, a fixed feature is what I'm looking for. I only need it on a couple of pages, and the content is different for each of those pages - so something theme-wide won't work for me...but I might be able to pull off a NewArea block in a page-template I don't use often & so use that template for my pages where I want this feature.... maybe ;D I'm not too handy with code! I'll try though :)
