Right Table centered always in window in XSL

I tried looking for this answer and saw questions close to it but unable to get a resolution to my problem @ HTML table headers always visible at top of window when viewing a large table.

Basically we have inherited a XSL page which has 2 HTML tables and when you hover over an row on the main table that has a value "yes" it shows a hidden 2nd table relating to that row on the right while if "no" it doesnt show anything. However if you have a lot of results being shown through the XSL, when you scroll down you will be unable to see the table.

I am just wondering if there is a way to force the 1 right hidden table to stay at the top of the screen everytime you hover over value yes even if it means to have the XSL result set to have a scroll bar instead?

Hope i have made myself clear, please see an extract of my code that im having trouble with.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">

  <xsl:for-each select="root/Action">document.getElementById('<xsl:value-of select="@Type"/>').style.display='none';
  </xsl:for-each>
  document.getElementById('summary').style.display='none';
  document.getElementById(show).style.display='inline';
}
</script>

<xsl:for-each select="root/Action">

 <table class="lgreenback"><tr class="small"><td class="green">Details for: <b><xsl:value-of select="@Type"/> Actions:</b> &#160; <a onmouseover="style.cursor='hand'" onclick="showme('summary')">&lt;&lt; Back</a></td></tr></table><br/>

     <xsl:otherwise>No</xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
 </td>
   </tr>
 </xsl:for-each>
</table>
</span>
</xsl:for-each>

  </xsl:for-each>
</table>
</span>

</xsl:for-each>

</td></tr></table>

</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks, Kevin

Use the CSS position:fixed property on the right-hand table, or a <div> around it.

CSS Example

#some-element {
  position: fixed;
  right: 0;
  top: 0%;
}
