just add position:fixed
and it will keep it in view even if you scroll down. see it at http://jsfiddle.net/XEUbc/1/
#mydiv {
position:fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
width:30em;
height:18em;
margin-top: -9em; /*set to a negative number 1/2 of your height*/
margin-left: -15em; /*set to a negative number 1/2 of your width*/
border: 1px solid #ccc;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
}
