Fixed-position DIVs are great for navigation, reminders, and other things that you want to stay visible no matter how far someone is scrolled into the content of a page. Scroll this page to see what I mean.

Demo page: Fixed Positioning

Layout sample using the CSS property 'position: fixed'

Look in the head tag of this html file (or view source) for the CSS for this page.

On fixed positioning

'Position: fixed;" is a form of absolute positioning that fixes the element to the browser window, as opposed to the containing element. Fixed-position elements don’t affect other elements’ positions and don’t move when the user scrolls up/down the page (because they’re attached to the browser).

Use associated CSS properties such as'float:' 'width:' 'top' 'left' 'right' and other location-specific properties to put the fixed DIV exactly where you want it.

Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like)…
