Do you mean the position on the screen or the position on the page?

I often rely on Peter-Paul Koch's scripts:

Tangentially, I recommend that you consider removing the JavaScript 
from your HTML and isolating it in external file, both for greater 
compatibility and for greater ease of maintenance in the future.
