That can be done with CSS, but not all browsers support it.
Your CSS would be something like this:
#top
{
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
}

STAN, thank you. But no such standard at W3C !? But why – it would be nice to have CSS for screen . There is CSS for print ….

There is CSS for screen. Actually, if you describe no media, it defaults to screen anyway.
And yes, fixed positioning is a very, very simple way to get what you want. However, Internet Explorer doesn't support it (well, it does, but only on background items). If you look around for "IE fixed positiioning" or something like that, there's some brief javascript fixes for IE.
