Anchor a Header

Post by Cal Wilson »

Is it possible to anchor a header in a CHM file that always stays visible when scrolling the content?

The attached picture shows a header that I have added with a master page.

I would like the header (logo and background) to remain visible when the page is scrolled.

Is this possible?

In brief yes it is possible, but sadly I can't remember how to! Just wanted to offer a bit of reassurance as I'm sure someone knowledgeable will come along with a solution for you.

From what I can remember, you also have to be careful to size the scrolling region so that it doesn't scroll BEHIND the heading. Again, I've forgotten how as I had to do it in a previous company rather than my current place. (This post might bump it up to the top anyhow.)

The term of art is "nonscrolling region" and the how-to is explained here: http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare ... Region.htm

@Nita Beck

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I am working on using a nonscrolling region.

Hopefully my work will go well.

Thanks again.
