Contact form that scrolls up and down in the browser

Hi Everyone
I am looking for a code sample or some pointers to create the effect of a form that scrolls down and up in the browser (probably to the right of the main text) as the user scrolls up and down.
At the moment my page has a contacts form at the bottom

I have no idea if its Java or AJAX that's used to perform this task or if its straight forward html but I have seen it on other peoples web sites and quite fancy it for my own.

Many Thanks

Hi there CodeMonk3y,

and a warm welcome to these forums. ;)

Your problem can be resolved with CSS....

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="language" content="english"> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">

<title>position fixed</title>

<style type="text/css">
body {
   background-color:#f0f0f0;
 }
#container {position:relative;
   width:960px;
   height:1000px;
   padding:20px;
   border:1px solid #999;
   margin:auto;
   background-color:#fff;
   box-shadow:#666 4px 4px 12px;
 }
form {
   position:fixed;
   top:200px;
   right:15px;
   width:300px;
   padding:10px;
   border:1px solid #999;
   background-color:#fff;
   box-shadow:#666 4px 4px 12px;
 }

</style>

</head>
<body>

<div id="container">
this is for the page contents.
</div>

<form action="#">
 <fieldset>
   <legend>this is the form</legend>
 </fieldset>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Thanks for that birdbrain and sorry for taking so long to get back to you. What you provided did work and I played with it quite a bit, then gave up

In a full browser window its fine but if the user plays with the window size it all gets a bit messy

Thanks again
James
