I'm trying to get the fast scroll pop up containing the large letter to appear when I the fast scroll feature in my list (just like in the image below), but for some reason it won't appear. I've consulted various tutorials but it still doesn't seem to work + I'm not sure if code is missing or some code is in the wrong place. All help would be appreciated.
