Description: This script displays a floating bar that sits at the top of the window, gliding gently back into view when the page is scrolled. Regular HTML content can be shown inside of it. And to make the bar less intrusive, once it is closed (by clicking on the "x"), the bar can be set to dismiss for the entire duration of the browser session, by using cookies. Reloading the page won't bring it back. Sites like About.com use something similar to display important tidbits of information.

Step 1: Add the following code into the Template: headinclude :

below
<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

PHP Code:
<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
<
style type="text/css">
#topbar{
position:absolute;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 2px;
background-color: lightyellow;
width: 620px;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 100;
}
</
style>
<
script type="text/javascript">
var 
persistclose=0 //set to 0 or 1. 1 means once the bar is manually closed, it will remain closed for browser session
var startX = 30 //set x offset of bar in pixels
var startY = 5 //set y offset of bar in pixels
var verticalpos="fromtop" //enter "fromtop" or "frombottom"
function iecompattest(){
return (
document.compatMode && document.compatMode!="BackCompat")? document.documentElement : document.body
}
function 
get_cookie(Name) {
var 
search = Name + "="
var returnvalue = "";
if (
document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
if (
offset != -1) {
offset += search.length
end 
= document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
if (
end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
return 
returnvalue;
}
function 
closebar(){
if (
persistclose)
document.cookie="remainclosed=1"
document.getElementById("topbar").style.visibility="hidden"
}
function 
staticbar(){
 
barheight=document.getElementById("topbar").offsetHeight
 
var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) || window.opera;
 var 
d = document;
 function 
ml(id){
  var 
el=d.getElementById(id);
  if (!
persistclose || persistclose && get_cookie("remainclosed")=="")
  
el.style.visibility="visible"
  
if(d.layers)el.style=el;
  
el.sP=function(x,y){this.style.left=x+"px";this.style.top=y+"px";};
  
el.x = startX;
  if (
verticalpos=="fromtop")
  
el.y = startY;
  else{
  
el.y = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight : iecompattest().scrollTop + iecompattest().clientHeight;
  
el.y -= startY;
  }
  return 
el;
 }
 
window.stayTopLeft=function(){
  if (
verticalpos=="fromtop"){
  var 
pY = ns ? pageYOffset : iecompattest().scrollTop;
  
ftlObj.y += (pY + startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
  }
  else{
  var 
pY = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight - barheight: iecompattest().scrollTop + iecompattest().clientHeight - barheight;
  
ftlObj.y += (pY - startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
  }
  
ftlObj.sP(ftlObj.x, ftlObj.y);
  
setTimeout("stayTopLeft()", 10);
 }
 
ftlObj = ml("topbar");
 
stayTopLeft();
}
if (
window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", staticbar, false)
else if (
window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", staticbar)
else if (
document.getElementById)
window.onload=staticbar
</script>
</if> 
Step 2: Insert the following code in the Template: navbar :

below
<!-- / PAGENAV POPUP -->
</if>

PHP Code:
<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
<
div id="topbar">
<
a href="" onClick="closebar(); return false"><img src="close.gif" border="0" /></a>
<
a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[register]</a>
</
div>
</if> 
Step 3: Finally, this script uses an image to close the bar:

Done!
