First of all, you really need to clean up the source code of that page: there are 18 (!) instances of the Scroller Genie CSS definitions on that page.
I can see that you tried, and tried, and tried..... <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Second, you say that you read all the Scroller Genie FAQs, but have you read the tutorials?
Because there is at least one tutorial (www.dmxzone.com/showDetail.asp?TypeId=2&NewsId=5202&LinkFile=tutorials/vertical_scroller/index.htm) that handles the anchoring concept.
The tutorials can also be found in the help files (available from the Help button in the Scroller Genie extension dialogs).

If you did read through the tutorials, and still don't know how to do it, then please post here again with as much detail as possible about what exactly is not clear to you.

Hello MarjaR!!

this time i had the pages clean up <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle>

here is my question/problem:
i need the scroller maintaining in a position with the centerd table when a browser window is resized. i'm on Mac with screen resolution 1280x1024.

after read through your 2nd recommended tutorial... i had done 2 samples for you to check.

this one anchor to an image called "stay". it doesn't work on IE5.2 (mac) and Safari.

this one anchor to an anchor name "star". it works on Safari but not IE5.2 (mac).
www.vaporizingsensors.com/david/web_temp/about/un_2.html

This page gives a JS error, bevause the JS function MM_findObj() can't be found.
That's strange, because Scroller Genie inserts that function by default. Did you accidently remove it?

There seems to be an issue with the anchoring feature in IE on Mac. We will look into this.
Meanwhile, as a temporary alternative, you could use the ProjectSeven SnapLayer extension to anchor the scroller to the image.

hello MarjaR!!

umm... since i don't know much of scripting language, i don't think i would touch or try to do anything manually from there <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

the extension you menetioned - the ProjectSeven SnapLayer extension, is it free to download? could you provide me a link to there?
i had tried put it in search from dmxzone.com but found zero.

awww, very frustration!!

The SnapLayer extension is free and you can find it here: www.projectseven.com/extensions/index.htm (near the bottom of the page).
Sorry for the inconvenience.
