Header & Footer zones on dashboards that don't scroll

In our model, we use navigation action buttons to help a user see "where they are" in a workflow with respect to other similar pages. Usually this amounts to ~4-5 buttons near the top of the dashboard in an order logical to the workflow, which are in the same order across all of the workflow's pages.
Unforunately when a user scrolls through the page it means the navigation buttons scroll up and out of sight. Ideally I would like to be able to create a short header area (like a frozen pane in Excel) within which I can put text, or navigation buttons etc. so that they remain visible no matter where the user scrolls on the page. A footer area of this same nature would also be helpful too.
