How to Freeze Pane/Fix Website Header and Horizontal Nav Bar



I currently have a banner/header as well as a horizontal navigation menu below this header that I would like to freeze pane/fix, so that any content below this header/nav just scrolls beneath it, always.





FYI, need it to work in IE8.





I have setup the following skeleton structure of this as follows:







<div id="banner-nav">

<div id="banner">

<div id="nav">

</div>

</div>

</div>



<div id="content">

</div>







Would appreciate your help on this. If it cannot be done on the above fashion, any other alternatives that would accomplish my requirement, would be great.





Thanks.

  2. You need to apply fixed positioning to your banner-nav element:

    #banner-nav {
    position:fixed;
    width:100%;
    }


    To get this to work in IE7+, you need a doctype that makes the browser render in "standards mode". The HTML5 doctype should do this:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
