How do I make something stay at the top of the page, or the bottom?

Okay I want to have my small header to be stuck on the top of the page and my small foot the same on the bottom, I want the stuff in between to be able to scroll. I know you can do this. The roblem is I don't know what it is called to look it to to figure it out. Anyone know what it is called, or where I can find out to do it.

Frames, but don't do it (with or without frames). It's so incredibly frustrating, and I for one never stay on sites that do that. Stop screwing with my viewport already.

IT isn't a forum that I am going to do it on, but a program made using php. It would make ease of the program much easier for them as well.
