The easiest way is using the "fixed" value for the "position" property.

You will probably also need to add a margin to the top of the page to push everything else down so it can be seen, since the header size will no longer be included in positioning calculations.

header { position: fixed; top: 0; }
body { margin-top: 100px; }   /* make size large enough for header */
