set its position to fixed and its left to 0px

#fixedLeft{
    position:fixed; /* now it will stay fixed on the screen, even while you scroll*/
    left:0px; /* it will be stuck to the left*/
    top:50%; /* it will be in the middle (vertically)*/
}

Try this:

div#mydiv {
    position: fixed;
    left: 0;
}

You'll probably want to add top or bottom to that as well so that it doesn't sit at the top of the screen.

Something like:

div#mydiv {
    position: fixed;
    left: 0;
    top: 200px; /* 200px from top */
}

or:

div#mydiv {
    position: fixed;
    left: 0;
    bottom: 200px; /* 200px from bottom */
}

or:

div#mydiv {
    position: fixed;
    left: 0;
    top: 50%; /* Half way down the side */
}
