I have quite a few longish pages that involve scrolling down to see all of the products.

Is there any way to stop the top bar/buttons and the left bar/text scrolling off the top of the screen when the customer scrolls down the products?

I just want the products to scroll and everything else to remain in place, so the customer can still see and press buttons even from the bottom of the page.

Use a framed theme.

But first have a look through the rest of the forum for the downside of using frames; e.g. no padlock symbol during checkout when checkout is also in frames.

I should think you would be able to achieve this with absolutely positioned div tags and/or dhtml.

Neither of which are easy to do or likley to be easy to integrate with Actinic, but IMHO there are too many downsides to using frames to consider it an option.

A simple solution would be to add a "Top" link after each product.

You can use a layer

Layers are not part of the XHTML or HTML 4.0 specification, this is why I sugest using DIVs.
