browser feature

Is there any web browser or even a firefox plugin that allows (now this is the best way I can describe it) 'excel style' split views?

What I mean is, there should be a handle at the edges of the scroll bar and draggin it will basically create a second view of the web page, but a view that doesn't move when the 'main view' is moved.

I thought of this when reading a mailing list in gmail, I read the message, by scrolling down, then I have to scrool back up to click 'older' . If I could split the view I could have the top view showing the 'older' link in a slither at the top of the screen, then use the main window to read the message. Then just click the link without needing to scroll back up.

No. I 'll check that plugin later, but I use opera all the time but I don't think it does it. Think of it as a duplicate VIEW of a tab/window. I.e. I click a link in the duplicate and both the original and the duplicate update. The major point being I can have the duplicate showing a specific part of a page, and use the main window for looking around the rest of the page. I thought Operas follow tab would do it but it doesn't really work like that AFAICS

essentially, yes. If a web page has a nav bar at the top, I should just split the view onto the nav bar, and the rest of the page. No matter where I am on the page, I can still ascces the nav bar. When I click a link on the main page, the na bar updates with the nav bar from the new page. That's where opera follow tab fails.
