Yes and no. Yes, officially, in that there is the "position: fixed;"
property that allows for positioning an element in the same location
regardless of scroll; and no, in that IE doesn't support it.

You can of course use the "position: fixed;" property in your CSS and
have a JavaScript fallback that it only used for Internet Explorer
through the use of conditional comments.
