scroll table content and fix the rest of the page - html

Question

I'm using angular + angular material, but I think this question is more general. I have a sidenav to the left and in all the right I display a table with many rows, the problem is that if I try to scroll the table actually the whole page is scrolling, moving the sidenav as well. What I want is to scroll only the table and the rest to be fixed. I spent a lot of time but can't arrive to a solution.
thanks
This is the code, if you are not familiar with angular material, md-content as far as I know should be the same as a div element. layout="row" means that the children of this element should be positioned as a row.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main/main.css">
<md-content layout="row">
<md-content>
<md-sidenav style="height: 100%" class="md-sidenav-left md-whiteframe-z2" md-component-id="left" md-is-locked-open="true">
<md-toolbar style="min-height: 1px; height: 50px" class="md-theme-indigo">
<h3 class="md-toolbar-tools">Your Library</h3>
</md-toolbar>
<md-content layout="column" layout-padding flex>
<md-list>
<md-list-item class="md-1-line">
<md-button class="md-primary md-hue-1" ng-click="showSongs()">Songs</md-button>
</md-list-item>
<md-list-item class="md-1-line">
<md-button class="md-primary md-hue-1" ng-click="getArtists()">Artists</md-button>
</md-list-item>
<md-list-item class="md-1-line">
<md-button class="md-primary md-hue-1" ng-click="getAlbums()">Albums</md-button>
</md-list-item>
<md-list-item class="md-1-line">
<md-button class="md-primary md-hue-1">Playlists</md-button>
</md-list-item>
<md-divider ></md-divider>
<md-list-item class="md-1-line">
<md-button class="md-primary md-hue-1">Upload</md-button>
</md-list-item>
<md-list-item class="md-1-line">
<md-button class="md-primary md-hue-1">Download</md-button>
</md-list-item>
</md-list>
</md-content>
</md-sidenav>
</md-content>
<md-content layout="column" layout-padding flex>
<md-content ng-show="showSongsList">
<div ng-include="'main/songsList.html'"></div>
</md-content>
<md-content ng-show="showArtists">
<div ng-include="artistsTemplate.url"></div>
</md-content>
<md-content ng-show="showAlbums">
<div ng-include="albumsTemplate.url"></div>
</md-content>
</md-content>
</md-content>
<md-content ng-include="'navBar.html'"></md-content>
<md-content ng-include="'navBarBottom.html'"></md-content>
Basically the behaviour I'm looking for is something like this: http://codepen.io/zavoloklom/pen/dIgco selecting "Stacked on the left" in sidebar position dropdown, but this example is not for the library I'm using.

Well this might be the solution to your problem
the red div, consider it as your nav; which would be fixed
the green one could be the images div
.left {
float: left;
width: 100px;
height: 100vh;
background-color: red;
word-wrap: break-word;
position:fixed;
}
.right {
width: 300px;
float: right;
height: 300vh;
word-wrap: break-word;
background-color: green;
}
<div class="left">laksndklas,sdfnlaksndklas,sdfnlaksndklas,sdfnlaksndklas,sdfnlaksndklas,sdfnlaksndklas,sdfnlaksndklas,sdfnl</div>
