Hello,
I really want to make a page where I have an index bar on the left which
doesn't move or scroll with the rest of the page when it moves. Any ideas? I
am very reluctant to try frames as I have heard they have compatibility
issues. Any advice would be great.
Cheers
 
You would have to either use frames, or DHTML/JavaScript to do this. There are no compatibility
issues with frames, just other problems.

Frames do not have compatibility issues. But they do have many other
issues that you would be happy to avoid.

The solution to your request is not one that works very well - that would be
a dHTML repositioning CSS div. The problem is that such dHTML effects are
profoundly browser/platform sensitive, appearing to 'float' very fast on
some, and stutter into place on others.

I recommend you discard this idea altogether, and consider breaking long
pages into multiple pages, as well as liberally using "back to top"
bookmarks on each.
