As > Andrew said, frames are the only good way to do this. How is this better for you than making the sidebar position: fixed (and maybe even in an iframe if you specifically want that)? I can think of a few ways, e.g., if it's essential that the state of each frame remain unchanged when you navigate the other frame. What's a concrete example where this is necessary, though? Maybe there are other ways to approach the problem that don't completely break bookmarking/URL copying/the browser back button/etc.
