need Scrolling side navigation bar
My superiors would like to use a scrolling side navigation bar like the one at http://www.glassdog.com on the college department's website. Looking at the Glassdog site, it looks like the effect makes use of javascript along with position with stylesheets, right? However, the code is complex. So...
I was wondering if anyone knows how to make such a script or where to get one but with less complex code or less code.

I didn't think it was that bad...
mostly other peoples javascript though.
tools.js is kinda weak, but I thought the site was nicer than a lot of other sites like it I've seen.

but, the navigation is decidedly un DHTMLey

Just for clarification,
My superiors want the navigation menu to SCROLL with the page, the navigation menu itself we can manage. We just need the scrolling SCRIPT to use with our menu not the menu itself.

Well , then it something complitly different .
Try this code it's IE5 , you'll get the idea :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
//[avnerc@fundtech.co.il]
function changePosition()
{
obj=document.getElementByI
obj.style.pixelTop=documen
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<style>
#moshe
{
position:absolute;
border:ridge;
height:20px;
width:20px;
left:200px;
top:0px;
}
</style>
</HEAD>
<BODY onscroll="changePosition()
<Div id="moshe">Moshe</div>

The absolute best scolling menu bar on the Internet, bar none, is PopUp Menu Creator.
You can download a free version at http://popup.jscentral.com/
It not only offers a vertical scrolling bar but also a horizontal bar. You don't have to do any coding. It provides the coding for you via an outstanding GUI interface.
It runs circles around the menu bar on the website you referenced as an example.
Here are several sites that I am using it on:

How can your code work with Netscape4.x?
I got 4.06 and I said..
obj=document.all("moshe");
but did not work...
How can one get around that?

try :
document.layers['moshe']
But you'll need to use other events because onscroll dosen't work in NS4 , and you'll need to use different properties because NS4 dosen't have a x.style propertie.
