    Sorry I'm not sure what it's called,

    I have a site here:
    http://elijah.pinoguin.com , it has a simple container with a background image. When the user scrolls down the background stays.

    Now what my client wants is something similar, but he wanted a flash menu on the left that always stays in that position just like my background on my personal site. Reference:
    http://tomepedia.com/ (my test site atm)


    I tried to do a simple container for the main content and set a css overflow to it, but the client didn't like the extra scroll in the container...


    So, any suggestions? :confused:

    You could make the navigation appear in an iframe and disable the scrollbar. However, iframes are not SEO friendly.

    It's called position:fixed, but it doesn't work in MSIE6. There is a workaround, which is found below

    http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/fixed.html

    position:relative or absolutely positioned elements will break, and be treated as fixed in IE6

    I wanted to avoid iframes as much as possible, thanks for the help though.

    @position: fixed; - Bingo! that's exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!
