Keep top of form from scrolling

[LonnieJohnson]

I need to create a form with lots of questions so the user will need to scroll down to answer them all. However I would like for the top of the form to freeze and not scroll.

How do I accomplish this?

2 options:
1. CSS which you can get help with in forum215. they won't care what server language you are using, only the HTML produced.
2. use a "wizard" approach. break the massive questionnaire into sections. each section is it's own page. you navigate the user from page to page. at the end you save the all the information.

an "new user wizard" would look like this:
step 1: user name and password
step 2: personal contact information
step 3: interests and stuff (used to send more junk email )
step 4: verify all the user's input
complete: create user account

I am not sure what your layout looks like, but you can diplay the "top" part on the page. Under that, you can have a scrollable div that would scroll the form or the rest of what you want to scroll

Hmmmm. Thanks jbenson001.

I have two divs. One with the header that I do not want to move because of some buttons that are in it. The second div has the long list of questions for the survey assessment.

Thanks again.

In that case go with option #1 that Jason suggested; have a look at the CSS "overflow:auto" property.
