    <p>I have a <code>position: fixed</code> div in a layout, as a sidebar. I've been asked to have part of it's content stay fixed to the top of it (internally), and the rest to scroll <em>if it overflows the bottom of the div</em>.</p> <p>I've had a look at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/4646733/383609">this answer</a>, however the solution presented there doesn't work with <code>position: fixed</code> or <code>position: absolute</code> containers, which is a pain.</p> <p>I've made a JSFiddle demonstration of my problem <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/jamwaffles/AKL35/1" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. The large amount of text should ideally scroll, instead of overflowing into the bottom of the page. The height of the header can vary with content, and may be animated.</p> <p>JSFiddle example code:</p> <p>CSS:</p> <pre><code>div.sidebar { padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ccc; background: #fff; position: fixed; top: 10px; left: 10px; bottom: 10px; width: 280px; } div#fixed { background: #76a7dc; padding-bottom: 10px; color: #fff; } div#scrollable { overlow-y: scroll; } </code></pre> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="sidebar"&gt; &lt;div id="fixed"&gt; Fixed content here, can be of varying height using jQuery $.animate() &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="scrollable"&gt; Potentially long content &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;​ </code></pre> <p>Without a fixed header, I can simply add <code>overflow-y: scroll</code> to <code>div.sidebar</code> and I can happily scroll all it's content if it overflows the bottom of the container. However, I'm running into issues with having a fixed, variable height header at the top of the sidebar, and having any content underneath that scroll if it's too long to fit into the container. </p> <p><code>div.sidebar</code> <em>must</em> stay <code>position: fixed</code>, and I would very much like to do this without any hacks, as well as make it as cross browser as possible. I've attempted various things, but none of them work, and I'm unsure as to what to try from here.</p> <p>How can I make a div inside a <code>position: fixed</code> container scroll only in the Y direction when it's content overflows the containing div, with a fixed header of varying, indeterminate height? I'd very much like to stay away from JS, but if I have to use it I will.</p>

    1. COI am not sure if a pure css solution exists for this. Basically your trying to fix the div#fixed, however when you do that your taking it out of the normal flow of the document so the height will not push other elements down the page.

    2. COConsidering the non-scrolling div is at the top of the sidebar's content, it doesn't have to be `position: fixed` - it can just sit in normal flow. I want to know if there's a way to push the top of the `overflow: scroll` element down by the height of the non-scrolling div. It's not actually `position: fixed`. I meant "fixed" as in "does not scroll with overflow".

    3. COit appears you made some progress on your fiddle, if you remove the bottom property on div#sidebar the div will expand to fit the content

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
