Image in fixed header moves when window resizes

I have a fixed header on my page, inside the header is an image. Id like it to stay in place when the window is resized.

I have tried different positioning tags and wrapper divs, but i must not be doing something right.

My CSS is as follows

.header {
    background: url("#") repeat-x scroll left top transparent;
    height: 70px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    width: 100%;
}

#headbar {
   position:fixed;
   z-index: 99999;
   left:0px;
   top:0px;
   height:50px;
   width:100%;
   background:#273D90;
   padding-top: 10px;
   box-shadow: 0 0 50px 0;
}

#headbar img {
    display: block;
    text-indent: -9999px;
    left: 5%;
    overflow: hidden;
    /*margin: 0 0 0 5%;*/
    position: fixed;
    float: left;
}

.imgwrap{
    float: left;
    position: absolute;
}

#logo {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 50px;
    margin-top:25px;        
}

and my HTML is

<div class="header">
    <div id="headbar">
        <div class="imgwrap">
            <a href="index.html"><img alt="logo" src="images/whitelogo.png" height="50" width="100"></a>
        </div>
    </div>  
</div>

Your header is 100% of the width of the page. Your image is positioned with left: 5%. That is 5% of the width of the header. Since the header resizes when the window does, this 5% changes. Use a fixed value with px or em and it will not move.

#headbar img {
    display: block;
    text-indent: -9999px;
    left: 5%; /*  <--  % is relative */
    overflow: hidden;
    /*margin: 0 0 0 5%;*/
    position: fixed;
    float: left;
}

You will have to use NOT relatives units to achive what you want. Try using Absolute lengths units: the ‘cm’, ‘mm’, ‘in’, ‘pt’, ‘pc’, ‘px’ units
