You want the {position:fixed} style as well. That will make the top and left be relative to the browser viewport.

Use this

  div.notifier {
       padding:10px;
       height:auto;
       width:auto;
       background-color:white;
       border:1px solid black
       position:fixed;
       top: /*Put the value you want here*/ ;
       left: /*Put the value you want here, if you want to put the div on the right you should use right instead of left*/ ;
   }

+1 for Great answer with detail, but you need to indent your code block with at least four spaces so everyone can read it clearly, and be able to immediately see it is code. If you want to make just a single word in code, use backticks around the word or phrase.
