Website programming
Hi, im developing a website (very basic with js floating menu) in html. When ever i open a browser (IE) i get an active content blocker and i'm unable to see my menu bar. This is more of a browser protection function, but very irritating for UE. Need inputs on how can change code to avoid this for general hosting. Same code attached below..
My menu code is:

Took this code years back from <!-- Web Site: http://gusnz.cjb.net --> Not sure if this still exists. BTW the code complies and executes after we manually accept the security blocker popup.
Maybe time to pull that menu into this millenium :-)

suggestions / samples of other contemporary floating menus ?
Millions. However "floating menu" does not mean anything to me. Do you have a site we can visit to see what you mean?
