Position div fixed relative to parent?

[iceangel89]

i seem to notice that position: fixed is relative to whole body/html. can i position an element fixed relative to an element?

markup is something like

<div class="bbcode_code">
<div class="bbcode_code_head">Code:</div>
<div class="bbcode_code_body" style="white-space:pre"><div id="wrapper">
    <div id="main" />
    <div id="sidebar" />
</div></div>
</div>

wrapper is centered
i want to position sidebar fixed relative to the wrapper/current position. so scrolling will only affect div#main

nope – fixed is always relative to the browser window :)

If you want to do it inside a box, use absolute – but then it will scroll with teh box… lol
