Locking a DIV so that it ignores scroll ?

I need to lock a DIV in place so that regardless of the scroll position,
it remains stuck in a corner. Currently I'm hooked into the scroll
events and I'm positioning dynamically based on the scroll amount. So if
you scroll down 1000 pixels, then I'm adding 1000 pixels to the position
I normally would calculate to fit it in the corner. This works cross
browser already, but the responsiveness to the scroll events isn't
immediate enough. You can see a bit of a stuttering effect.

Does anyone know of a property that will lock a DIV to a certain
position in the browser rather than a certain position in the page (yes
I know it's CSS but there isn't a CSS forum on my news server and this
is where the clever people are)? I'm pretty sure I heard that such a
property exists but it's not something that's easy to google. The terms
involved find way too many results that aren't relevant. I haven't even
managed to find (via google) somebody that's doing what I'm already doing.

I don't mind if it's using some IE and/or Gecko proprietary properties.

That doesn't work in IE before version 7, of course. However, there are
several workarounds of which I prefer

I'm developing a Web application where a user selects from a listbox which can have many items. The initial display only shows about 10 items. After a postback, the listbox is automatically scrolled back to the top, so the selected item is mostly no longer visible. How can I keep the position, so that the selected item is still shown?

You know in Excel you have the ability to lock certain rows such that the rows under it allow you to scroll but the locked rows say on the screen. This is especially useful when dealing you want headers to stay in place because you might have a lot of rows that need to scroll. I would like to do that same thing in ASP.NET. Does anyone have any suggestions about the best way to do this?

Is there a way of locking the display of two text boxes, so that as you scroll down in one text box the display is automatically scrolled in the other? The issue is to display line numbers for a file beside the file, but in a separate text box, so that I don't confuse the text from the file with the line numbering text. I can also then show the line numbers in a different colour which helps distinguish them.

Suppose I have a method (MethodA()) and I do some data access in it (e.g. get results from DB SPs on some select query). This method is fired via a event (say button click).

In other words those request do busy wait automatically or they just ignore the request...

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.
