How to make scrollable sidebar fixed? - html

Question

I came across the BetterDev sidebar in which, If we add content to it, the sidebar also scrolls. Is there a way to make that sidebar fixed and not scrollable? I tried sticky, corrected with top-0 and left-0, but it didn't work.
<div class="relative min-h-screen md:flex">
<!-- mobile menu bar -->
<div class="bg-gray-800 text-gray-100 flex justify-between md:hidden">
<!-- logo -->
Better Dev
<!-- mobile menu button -->
<button class="mobile-menu-button p-4 focus:outline-none focus:bg-gray-700">
<svg class="h-5 w-5" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke="currentColor">

Answer 1

position:fixed;
left:0px;
a example could be: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_fixed_menu.asp
shows a navbar in top but as you can see:
position: fixed; /* Set the navbar to fixed position */
top: 0; /* Position the navbar at the top of the page */
All you need to change is from top to left!
if it doesn't works, it could be the body position type, but in that i cannot help u bud.
