Can you help me make a floating, blank box?

Yo! I'm building a website, and I have an awesome idea, but it's, well, far beyond my skillset.

First things first, I need a rounded-edge rectangle (vertically oriented) that sticks to the right side of the browser for the entire time you're on my website. I keep finding plenty of fixed floating widget ideas, but everyone's talking about single-page widgets. I need it to effectively transcend which page you're on.

Furthermore, I want to start out with a simple shape, nothing special no forms to fill out, that way I can tinker with what goes inside of that box.

Hit me with some clarification questions. :)

What I have tried:

Googling it for the last 4 hours. :C

Solution 1

Every site is made up of single pages: you can't spread your sites' widget across other sites pages, just your own.
So go back to the fixed floaty widgets you found, and use one of those on your master page - it will then appear on all of your sites' pages (but not on other sites).

Technically, you could use a <frameset>[^] - if you want your site to suddenly stop working at some unknown point in the near future! :D

I'm kinda fond of things not spontaneously combusting! :laugh:
