You can us CSS to place the element upon page rendering, but how can you
reposition upon a scroll event. That would would be a behavior and
require JavaScript, right? The only pseudo behavior that is CSS
trappable that I am aware of is 'hover'. In my site the menus 'flyout'
with CSS using pseudo hover class (except IE with JS hack) but the whole
navbar uses JavaScript to float with the page scroll....
