Floating Top Bar script
Note: Updated Oct 3rd 05' for option to float from bottom of window
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.
Demo:
Step 1: Add the following code into the <HEAD> section of your page:

Step 3: Finally, this script uses an image to close the bar:
