I need this menu to scroll down the page, and not just stay at the top.

<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$config['admin_dir']}/index.php">{$lang->welcome_admin}</a>
<style>
<!--
#slidemenubar, #slidemenubar2{
position:absolute;
border:1px solid black;
background-color:#F2F2F2;
layer-background-color:#F2F2F2;
font:bold 12px Verdana;
line-height:20px;
}
-->
</style>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">

than you.

We can't really support Javascript code that is not part of MyBB here but if I understand correctly you are trying to make a news scroller?

If so try this tutorial by me http://www.supportforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3325 it may not be as flashy as the one from dynamic drive but it will probably be easier and doesn't rely on Javascript.

Otherwise just ask on the dynamic drive forums.
