Serious Issue with X Position

[gc40]

Greetings All, I am using a script that places a new "popup" on my website when the page refreshes.

The script works GREAT, but the only problem I have, is that people with different resolutions have the pop up displaying in the wrong places.

The popup is meant to display outside of the website's <div> main container tag, or rather, to the right of the website itself.

I am using a resolution of 1280x800 and I set the xposition to 1000 and it works great, but people using different resolutions get messed up results.

How would I go about changing xposition to a percentage or soemthing? Solutions?

p.s. Here is the actual script:

<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 = 1000 //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>

Change the variable startX to something like:

var startX=screen.availWidth-windowWidth;

Where windowWidth would be the overall width of your pop-up window.
