Thanks for commenting.

The obvious disadvantage of putting a fixed menu bar in a scrolling windows 
is that it disappears when scrolling. One has to scroll back to reach the 
menu bar, operation that can be tedious for longer pages (and sometimes they 
have to be long).

The "simple" idea is to create a fixed region, in my case on the top of all 
pages and to put the navbar there. But how to do it in a simple way? The 
simplest is to use frames but they have many, known disadvantages. Another 
solution is to use SSI, but one has to get access to them on the server 
which is another pain. I have tried something by using CSS but so far 
unsuccessfully, because I couldn't run the navbar's JS code in it.

An easy solution is welcomed.
