In view of the continued interest of the Centre for the Documentation of Cultural and Natural Heritage (CULTNAT), of Bibliotheca Alexandrina, in maintaining cultural sustainability – particularly in the field of Science; and due to the importance of digital electronic documentation of manuscripts in asserting the effective role undertaken by the Arab and Muslim Scientists in developing the human Scientific knowledge: CULTNAT is preparing a series of publications aiming at bringing, to the World attention, the Arab and Islamic contributions to the progress of Science; through a well established partnership with UNESCO. In order to achieve that goal, and in full cooperation with UNESCO, CULTNAT embarked on a series of publications presenting the contributions of the Arab and Islamic Cultures in the fields of Science. The first volume in the series concerned the Medical Sciences, and the second concerned the field of Astronomy. The First Project in the Programme began in the year 2001; with the documentation of some 1087 medical manuscripts in the collection of Egypt’s National Library. Two editions of the work were issued; one in book form, and the other a CD. The book (in Arabic, English and French) contained a selection of the most important manuscripts; with related details on both the subjects and the authors. This is in addition to tables containing detailed information on the manuscripts, the authors, the titles and the call numbers in the Library’s Register. The CD, on the other hand, was also in the same three languages (Arabic, English and French) and contained seven photographed manuscripts; complete, from cover to cover. Cultnat also completed the Second project in the same Programme, which concerned the documentation of manuscripts in the field of Astronomy and Timekeeping. The Project was based on the collection kept at the library of Al-Azhar University. The output was, once again, in two editions; one in book form and the other as a CD, and both in the same three languages (Arabic, English and French). In addition to the above publications, the centre has also produced the following works: • A booklet on the Astronomy instruments and equipment invented, or developed and improved, by the Arabs; under the title of “Star Riders”. • A photographically illustrated catalogue on the Astrological Zodiacs; extracted from a manuscript by Abdurrahman Assuffi, who was one of the Fourth Hegira Century Muslim Scientists. The Third Project in the Programme is currently under preparation. The Project concerns the publication of the third and fourth volumes in the series presenting the contributions of the Arabic and Islamic cultures in the fields of Chemistry and Geography; based on the scientific manuscripts collections kept at the National Library of Egypt.

Multiple Scroll Areas

You can follow the format described and demonstrated in this example to add more than one scroll area. See the example with multiple scrolling areas for guidance. Even though that example uses absolute positioning, the pattern for setting up the layers remains the same. Just remember that all id's need to be unique.

Remember to pass the id's for areas that scroll in tables to the GeckoTableBugFix function so Netscape 6+ and Mozilla will be able to extract their layers and function properly. (See code comments in the head of the document for more information.)
