Fixed CSS Navigation Bar

I've recently resolved an issue that has been bothering me for a while with my CSS Navigation Bar. Now I have the problem of fixing it to the top so that it scrolls down when you scroll the page. I know the thing I need to add is Position: fixed; but I don't know where to add it.

My recent attempts resulted in the text being fixed but the background of the Navbar wouldn't. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My CSS

#cssmenu ul {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;


}
#cssmenu li {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
#cssmenu a {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
#cssmenu > ul {
  display:table;
  margin:0 auto;
}
#cssmenu ul {
  list-style: none;
}
#cssmenu a {
  text-decoration: none;
}
#cssmenu {
  height: 70px;
  background-color: #232323;
  box-shadow: 0px 2px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
  width: auto;
  text-align: center;



}
#cssmenu > ul > li {
  float: left;
  margin-left: 15px;
  position: relative;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > a {
  color: #a0a0a0;
  font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande';
  font-size: 15px;
  line-height: 70px;
  padding: 15px 20px;
  -webkit-transition: color .15s;
  -moz-transition: color .15s;
  -o-transition: color .15s;
  transition: color .15s;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > a:hover {
  color: #ffffff;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > ul {
  opacity: 0;
  visibility: hidden;
  padding: 16px 0 20px 0;
  background-color: #fafafa;

You should add it to the overall container of all your nav items, from your css file I would guess this is the DOM element with id="cssmenu". Also you will want to add top: 0px; as well to assure that it stays at the 0 position.

EDIT:

css:

#my-nav-bar {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0px;
}

html:

<body>
    <div id="my-nav-bar">
        <!-- nav bar content -->
    </div>
    <!-- page content -->
</body>

Now the div with id="my-nav-bar" will stay fixed to the top of the window.

See this JSFiddle Example I just made

I assume that you #cssmenu is your main nav container, maybe give a try on 

    #cssmenu {
      position: absolute;   
   }
