Hi Manish,

just make the #table-of-contents limited to a certain height. 100%
should work if nothing else is higher than the visible area in the
browser. If it doesn't, use a pixel value.

 @media screen {

 /* ... all your styles here ... */

 #table-of-contents
 {
  position:fixed;
  width:198px;
  /* add this for the height: */
  height:100%;
  overflow:auto;
 }

 * html { overflow-y: hidden; }

 * html body {
  overflow-y: auto;
  height: 100%;
  padding: 0 0 0 0;
  font-size: 100%;
 }

 * html div#table-of-contents { position: absolute; }
 }


Regards,

   Sebastian
