fixed position

Anchored in place

A fixed position is a location that doesn't move or change.

In military contexts, it's a defended location troops hold rather than advance from: The enemy attacked our fixed position at dawn.

In web design, a fixed position element stays in place on screen while the rest of the page scrolls beneath it.
