Fixing a Table of Contents Menu, when contents Scroll mcl 05-05-2008

I wish to create a standard 3 column CSS page, but my centre contents
column is quite long. I have included Anchor Name Tags in the long
column and provided a navigation / Table of contents in the left
column.

Is it possible to have the Table of contents displayed, regardless of
the scroll position of the page.

I would like a similar requirement for the right column, which will
have other information.

This I hope will provide, access to all parts of the website, from any
current view of the page.

I hope I have explained this correctly and someone may be able to
point me to a solution.

Regards

Richard

You said it in your subject line. Fixed.

It may not be so obvious how to make two columns stay put even after you
learn about fixed position. Perhaps this might promote an idea for you:

<http://netweaver.com.au/threeCols/fixed_both_sides.html>

Seems to work on all my Mac browsers (except IE)

(In knocking this one, I noticed a curiosity that my Opera ignores
min-width on body).

There is probably simpler. You should know that Windows IE 6 does not do
fixed and you will need some workarounds for which you better Google up.

You might find

helpful, I don't know in the case of three cols...

Thank you both,
