"Navigation tables" is not a phrase I have heard used to
describe anything before. I will hazard a guess as to
what your concern is and try to give you some options.
I am going to guess that you would like to have your
Navigation BUTTONS (not tables) remain on screen as the
visitor scrolls through your web pages.
One option would be to limit the content on your pages so
that the visitor does not have to scroll vertically (if
the problem is due to horizontal scrolling that is a
whole other problem).
You may not be able to limit the content sufficiently
therefore another option would be to employ a Frameset
(see Front Page help) approach.
This approach would allow you to place your Navigation
BUTTONS in the upper frame. When the user scrolls, the
top frame stays on screen. Be aware that the use of
Frames present their own set of difficulties. For
instance, if a visitor were to add a particular page of
your site (other than the home page) to their Favorites,
when they access this page in the future, the whole
frameset will NOT be displayed. Thus the visitor would
not be able to navigate your site from that page. Your
website title and logos, which most folks place at the
top of their home page, would also be missing.
As you are starting to learn, designing webpages will
often present you with several options. As in life, they
will each have their pluses and minuses.

Actually, this is not true, at least in IE. And, even if it were
universally true, it would be the least of the real problems of frames.
If you want a good general statement about frames, consider this - they are
rarely the correct FIRST choice for a layout methodology, ESPECIALLY for new
developers, or those who are not very comfortable with HTML.
