    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 id=\"wrapper\">
        <div id=\"main\" />
        <div id=\"sidebar\" />
    </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
