Example Code

Here is the CSS code that was used to create the floating menu to the side:

Code:

<style>
div.floating-menu {position:fixed;background:#fff4c8;border:1px solid #ffcc00;width:150px;z-index:100;}
div.floating-menu a, div.floating-menu h3 {display:block;margin:0 0.5em;}
</style>
<div class="floating-menu">

Feel free to change the width, color, and other properties as you wish (as long as you don't remove position:fixed).

As mentioned, you may also need to play around with the placement of your fixed menu. You can remove/change the z-index:100 if you don't want the menu to float on top of everything.

enter it into
