Newbie! Never ending Webpage!

Hi,

I'm a complete novice, bear with me.

I have a problem with my personal WebPages. You can scroll for ever more
down the page :-(

Is there any code that I can use either in the HTMl document or CSS to stop
this going beyond the info on the page?

TIA

It's your annoying menu - stop it from following me down the page. When
the menu is longer than the screen height, once it gets to where you are
putting it, it increases the page length. Put it on the page properly -
at the moment (besides it being annoying), it obscures half the page.

LoL. I screwed my CSS up! Trying to figure it out. Webpage OK now, I think!

I think, the problem is the Auto- Scroll in the right bottom corner! I'll
get rid.

No it's not. It's the menu.

I'll

Won't make any difference. It's the menu that is causing the problem.

Any ideas then? I'm nearly there. But! Is there a way to stop it?

Somebody else already gave a helpful answer; I'm here to criticize.

<< ALL >> of the javascript on your page is superfluous. Nobody needs
little links that make the page scroll at a speed which is usually not
their reading speed. Nobody wants to wait for your javascript marquee to
scroll over at a speed of one meter per century in order to discover
_any_ sort of information. Nobody is going to have a need to impulsively
click menu buttons in the middle of the page without scrolling back up to
the top, and it just gets annoying when you have to wait for the menu to
catch up every time you scroll. You can just leave that at the top.

I LOVE <3 <3 <3 <3 your choice of colors and the background image is
EXCELLENT (in that it doesn't intrude upon reading, and that it adds to
the page's visual appeal).

And the following is a minor snipe:
I don't like your icons that brag about your valid HTML and CSS.
While it's nice to have valid HTML and CSS, bragging about it or
trying to get others to use it is akin to a newspaper having little
notices on its front page bragging about its perfect grammar and
that the reader should write with perfect grammar all the time, too.
Remember that 99.9 +/- 80 percent of your visitors are NOT going to
be interested in the code behind your page, and that directing them
to this HTML Validation service isn't going to give them anything
they want or need.

Yes. Get rid of the annoying Javascript that makes the menu follow me
down the page.

At least it doesn't cover the content any more.

Yes, as others have said stop moving the menu. If you *must* move the menu
then amend your javascript so that it does not move if the bottom of said
menu is already below the bottom of the viewport (something that is Very
Hard to do reliably).

I was wondering about that, didn't for me. Obviously the OP had fixed it
before I got up this morning :-)
