Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
You want to apply the fixed property to the position style of the element.
position: fixed;
What browser are you working with? Not all browsers support the fixed property. Read more about who supports it, who doesn't and some work around here

Solution 2 - Javascript
Just for a more animated and cute solution:
$(window).scroll(function(){
$("#div").stop().animate({"marginTop": ($(window).scrollTop()) + "px", "marginLeft":($(window).scrollLeft()) + "px"}, "slow" );
});
And a pen for those who want to see: http://codepen.io/think123/full/mAxlb, and fork: http://codepen.io/think123/pen/mAxlb
Update: and a non-animated jQuery solution:
$(window).scroll(function(){
$("#div").css({"margin-top": ($(window).scrollTop()) + "px", "margin-left":($(window).scrollLeft()) + "px"});
});
Solution 3 - Javascript
using position:fixed
alone is just fine when you don't have a header or logo at the top of your page. This solution will take into account the how far the window has scrolled, and moves the div when you scrolled past your header. It will then lock it back into place when you get to the top again.
if($(window).scrollTop() > Height_of_Header){
//begin to scroll
$("#div").css("position","fixed");
$("#div").css("top",0);
}
else{
//lock it back into place
$("#div").css("position","relative");
}
Solution 4 - Javascript
Here is the Jquery Code
$(document).ready(function () {
var el = $('#Container');
var originalelpos = el.offset().top; // take it where it originally is on the page
//run on scroll
$(window).scroll(function () {
var el = $('#Container'); // important! (local)
var elpos = el.offset().top; // take current situation
var windowpos = $(window).scrollTop();
var finaldestination = windowpos + originalelpos;
el.stop().animate({ 'top': finaldestination }, 1000);
});
});

Just add position: fixed;
in your div style.
I have checked and Its working fine in my code.
