CSS fixed positions
I have asked this question before but the answer did not hold up.
I have a menu on the left side of my website that has a fixed position. So, no matter how far I scroll up or down the page, the menu is always in the same place on the left side of page. However, If I change the size of my screen and scroll horizontally, it will begin to overlap the content of the page. it slides under the other content.
Is there a way to keep a div fixed vertically but not fixed horizontally so it can move with the entire page as you scroll right and left?

Unfortunately not really. Not with pure CSS anyways. You may need a custom Javascript solution.

@LZ1 like what? any clues that can put me in the correct direction?
I've been looking, but haven't seen any type of solution. Let me make sure I have the right thing in mind though. Your talking about having a fixed div on the left hand side. The everything else on the right. When a user has to scroll horizontally though, it should move as if it's part of the page?
What about something like framesets? http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_frameset.asp

@LZ1 Yes that is correct but the frameset is not a good choice at this point.
Understandable. I wouldn't want to use it either honestly.
