I have a page design that basically uses a 2 column CSS design. The left column is just a box with the navigation links and the right column is a large box that contains the body of the page.

My question is, I want the nav box to stay positioned on the screen even if the user scrolls way down - like floating. I'm not sure what it's called (float in CSS is a little different) and if it's a CSS, HTML or Javascript function. Anyone know?

you have to do it with javascript (like your link) you can make the layers with CSS to have stuff above and below other stuff
