Question

I’m making a website (http://www.deayoga.ch/), and I’d like to make the menu bar on the left scroll with the page. In other words, it would start on the page as it is, and then, when the user scrolls down, it would stay fixed, relative to the browser window. The idea comes from the links on the right hand side on some StackOverflow pages, like here.
How could I achieve this?

PS: I already know how to make a div stay fixed on the left, using position: fixed; left: 0;, but my question is how to do this in the middle of the page, without knowing the distance from the side of the window (since the page sits in the middle, regardless of window size)

Remy Sharp has a very nice tutorial (with video) on how to do exactly this:
