In NS browsers if you set the elements
css position property to fixed it will do just that(NS browsers )

style="position:fixed;"

for IE however, you will need some calculations...search the forum you should find the solution,I have posted one some time ago..

Ok got it..

try this link
http://68.145.35.86/skills/javascripts/StaticMenu.html

To make it work for you with the text field take a look at this function

function MD(){
if(document.all){
document.getElementById("qlinks").style.top = getPosition() + document.body.scrollTop;
}else{
document.getElementById("qlinks").style.position="fixed";
}
if(!mup){
setTimeout('MD()',1);
}
}

see in this line document.getElementById("qlinks") qlinks is the id of the main container that is made static,you can use this with any other html element(say a text field) e.g

<input id="qlinks">

if you leave the rest of the code intact and just add the above in the page you will see that it will add a static text field in the page,of course you will have to comment out the exisiting "qlinks" element
