Scroll content with window scroll bar, not div scroll bar

[z1freeride]

Is this possible? Do any of you have a sample site I could check out?

So I want all of the elements to remain fixed. The container has a set height too. I won’t be able to use a 100% height. The content will create a normal window scroll bar. Scrolling the window will scroll the content.

I think I could figure it out if I could make the container go 100% and cover the window top to bottom. But I will potentially have some large background images inside the container that have a set height.

well I figured out a way using javascript: http://www.chrispaul.ws/scrollable-content/index.html

Let me know if anyone can think over a better way. Thanks.

Javascript is the only way I can think of as well.

One problem I foresee, though, what if a user is using a smaller screen? Say… a 13" widescreen laptop, or netbook, they won’t be able to see the footer, and they’ll have no way of scrolling down?

Scratch that, why don’t you just have your header, sidebar, and footer all be fixed positioned?

I’m not the best at css. Is it possible to center position a fixed div?
