Searchign for old technique: fixed position advert at bottom of viewport

[an0n1m0us]

Hi

A long time ago a SitePoint article announced the creation of a fixed position 'footer' overlay. This was probably controversial and therefore never caught on since the last thing the web needs is another annoying advertising method.

However I am working on a document viewer and due to Exploder's lack of overflow support I am looking for alternative ways to build a section at the bottom of the viewport for zoom controls.

Can anyone remember the name of the article/technique?

Thanks *everyone* I found it:
