Hi I'm trying to find a (non-frames)way to get a fixed 'header area', with the page content scrolling beneath it (ie top part of page always on screen - rest of content scrollable)- Has anyone any ideas please? [sadeyes]

I Would employ 2 divs.

1 for the fixed content, and a scrollable one for the rest for the Page.

Code: 
<div id="fixedtop" style="width:100%; height:150px;">
[red]fixed content goes here[/red]
</div>

<div id="restofpage" style="width:100%; height:450px; overflow:scroll;">
[red]rest of page goes here[/red]
</div>

Hope this helps

Take note that using vacunita's suggestion you will not be able to use the browser's scrollbar to scroll the page - the div itself will have it's own scrollbar inside the browser window. Additionally, I believe you have to set an explicit height on the div to get the vertical scrollbar (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and that can be a pain to do if you want it to take up the remaining space on the page without javascript - so you'll probably end up needing it anyway.

I know I'm going to get flamed for this one.
Kaht as usual is totaly correct.
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<title>Style test</title>
</head>
<body[COLOR=red] style = "overflow-x:auto; overflow-y:hidden;"[/color]> 
<div id="fixedtop" style="width:100%; height:100px;">
fixed content goes here
</div>

<div id="restofpage" [COLOR=red]style="width:100%; height:75%; overflow-X:hidden; overflow-y:scroll;">[/color]

<pre>rest of page goes here used pre tags for testing. 
Only works for 800 X 600 or higher resolution.

This is close to what I want glenmac, but I can't see why the text fails to wrap and the scroll bar is inset one place left of it's usual place - Sorry this tsuff's new to me & confusing - homeric

Umm.... did you read my first post? Additionally, the text will not wrap if you used the <pre></pre> tags as glen placed above (if you look closely he put a note in about them only being there for testing)

No css hacks, no javascript, cross browser compatible, lean and mean!

Yeah, the only downside is you have to use frames.
