// /*
//  * stickyfloat - jQuery plugin for verticaly floating anything in a constrained area
//  * 
//  * Example: jQuery('#menu').stickyfloat({duration: 400});
//  * parameters:
//  * 		duration 	(200)	 - the duration of the animation
//  *		startOffset (number) - the amount of scroll offset after the animations kicks in
//  *		offsetY		(number) - the offset from the top when the object is animated
//  *		lockBottom	(true)	 - set to false if you don't want your floating box to stop at parent's bottom
//  *		delay		(0)		 - delay in milliseconds  until the animnations starts
// 		easing		(linear) - easing function (jQuery has by default only 'swing' & 'linear')
//  * $Version: 08.10.2011 r2
