[Slightly OT] CSS or Javascript for a web page div that ignores vertical scrolling?

Fri Jun 10 17:29:40 EDT 2011

It looks like for older browsers you might have to add a !DOCTYPE to make it work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: IE7 and IE8 support the fixed value only if a !DOCTYPE is specified.

Fixed positioned elements are removed from the normal flow. The document and other elements behave like the fixed positioned element does not exist.

Fixed positioned elements can overlap other elements.
-----------------
Example:
-----------------

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p.pos_fixed
{
position:fixed;
top:30px;
right:5px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<p class="pos_fixed">Some more text</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> IE7 and IE8 supports the fixed value only if a 
!DOCTYPE is specified.</p>
<p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p>
</body>
</html>

Ah great - thanks Mark! I ignored the obvious as I thought position was just about relative positioning within nested containers, but you seeded my Google search perfectly http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/menus
Best,
Keith..
