Menu
hi guys,
I have recently been tinkering with some freeware scripts, and came across this problem.
the url I’m using is : myi.net.au
as you can see I have a CSS’d scrollbar (still in the making).
however, i added an Overlay loading effect when the page is searching through the database. and when it loads, the scrollbar effect disappears. ? ….
if u click the logo on the top left of the page at the URL i mentioned above, you will see what i mean.
what is happening? any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
suren
heres the source code if it will help:
