ah. you want position: fixed. won't work in IE6 without something like dean edwards IE7 script tho.
There are actually several ways to get around this problem. Position fixed would be the easiest by far if IE 6 would support it. You may use css expressions to make it do this, but then it seems jumpy and sporadic (like the example given). Given that about 85% of the visitors to my website use IE 6 I decided to go an alternate route. The 'scrolling sidebar' as you call it is actually an absolutely positioned element with an overflow of hidden on top of a body with an overflow of hidden. There is then a relatively positioned (or absolute, whatever you need to make it look right with your design) placed 'on top' of it all with overflow: auto. Ive used this several times, a good example is on www.joughslife.com/Rockport.html
