How do I float an element to the left or right of the container box, so that as I scroll down the page on the viewport the elements also follow the scrolling up or down?

I think a better way though would be to have a parent container and have your current container inside, along with the other elements you want to display next to it, and then float both of those elements.
If you want and element to be outside of a container, you probably should reconsider having it in the container in the first place =]
