building a fixed menu bar

Hi,


I need to build a fixed menu bar on the left hand side while showing a
very large form on the right hand side.  The large form on the right
can be scrolled up and down while the menu bar on left stays fixed.
Furthermore, the menu bar can change the individual data elements in
the form on the right.  What is a good approach for doing something
like this?

I considered using frameset.  However, the menu bar needs to be able
to trigger modification to specific fields in the form the user is
editing (not simply the full loading of the entire form in the frame).

Is there another approach such as using div and css that will allow
one part of the browser page to stay fixed while another part to
scroll?  I am a novice with css.


Thanks,
-James

Nevermind, I found the solution using fixed positioning.
