I really want to use jQuery mobile, but my first needs are just to control what areas are scrollable and create fixed menus, etc.

This takes lots of effort with that toolset, when it's VERY easy with something like iScroll http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4

Is there an easy way to accomplish a scrollable area or fixed position elements with jQuery mobile?

jQuery mobile is way too much setup just to create scrollable areas.

iScroll would be what you need. And unlike jQuery mobile, iScroll works on various devices and on the desktop. jQuery mobile, not so much.

And to the person who said that is has a problem with form elements, he is right, but there is an easy fix... iScroll 4 not working with form <select> element iPhone Safari and Android browser.
