static object help

[BakedBeans]

im building a webpage and want to... huthum, "replicate" the static bar of http://www.dashboardwidgets.com/ (where the page scrolls but the banner stays where it is)

any pointers?

It's called a frame.

I caution however they are rather looked down on because they are often mis-used. Not so much in the example that you pointed out but I'd say 95% of sites using frames have done a horrible job.

thanks, since posting his i chose a totally different approach, i was really refering to how they did the shaping of the frame.. anyway. onward and upward

Actually, that's not a frame at all but a layer using CSS' fixed positioning. It's a great way of achieving that effect without resorting to frames.
