Re: Why are navigational element are not static when scrolling long pages?

That's great !
I like this because I think it is not convenient to have to get back to 
the top to find again the menus when you are reading a long page.

I will investigate when I have time on this - with a new variable in 
skinconf such as fixed-menus.

Using
I played a bit with the CSS (see
http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/docs/howto/howto-editcss.html) and found
that replacing
#menu {
   position: relative;
   float: left;
   width: 160px;
   padding-top: 0px;
   top:-18px;
   left:10px;
   z-index: 20;
   background-color: #f90;
   font-size : 70%;
}
with this new configuration for the menu will keep it in place when
scrolling.
#menu {
   position: fixed;
   float: left;
   width: 160px;
   padding-top: 0px;
   top:140px;
   left:10px;
   z-index: 20;
   background-color: #f90;
   font-size : 70%;
}
Of course, of nothing else is done, it will become a tear-off menu.
Adding this change
#tabs {
   clear: both;
   padding-left: 10px;
   padding-top:80px;
   margin: 0;
   list-style: none;
  position: fixed;
 z-index:20;
}
makes it obvious that we should probably move the whole top
section and that's where I stopped to get some work done ...
