Menu
See attached image. How is this accomplished? Gosh, I've been going CSS for 8 years but somehow never had to do this!
Thanks!

This is how I do it:
<style>
#container { margin-left: 250px; }
#sidebar {
display: inline; /* Fixes IE double-margin bug. */
float: left;
margin-left: -250px;
width: 250px;
}
/* Definitions for example only: */
#sidebar { background: #FF0000; }
#content { background: #EEEEEE; }
#sidebar, #content { height: 300px; }
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="sidebar"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>Example here

I had this implemented on my site a while back, but I lost the code. Here's a quick CSS mockup:
The HTML:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="left">
Mr. Fixed-width left
</div>
<div id="right">
Mr. Dynamic right. Scroll me!
</div>
</body>
</html>
And here's the CSS:
body
{
padding-left: 230px;
}
#left
{
position: fixed;
height: 100%;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 200px;
background-color: rgb(150, 150, 150);
border-right: 5px solid rgb(50, 50, 50);
padding: 10px;
}
#right
{
width: 100%;
height: 10000px;
}
This should work, and here's a live copy: http://jsfiddle.net/dDZvR/12/.
Note that whenever you add padding, borders, margins, etc. to the left bar, you have to increase the padding on the body. It'll save you a ton of debugging ;)
Good luck!
