I made a contentMenu plugin that does something very similar to this
from what I can tell. Here is the basic code - sorry, no demo page or
documentation but the code is very short and hopefully easy to
understand.

You can pass in options to specify where the menu (TOC) is injected
into the document. With that in mind, inspired by a suggestion from
Klaus Hartl, I have used this plugin to append the menu to the body
element and set its position to 'fixed' so that it floats in place in
the window similar to the TOC plugin you pointed to. I wrapped all
this up in its own plugin called contentMenuDrawer and also used a
whole bunch of other plugins to further enhance the functionality
(scrollTo, hoverIntent, jqEm). If you want to do something similar,
you can see this in action at the following url (content of the page
is irrelevant to this topic).

The relevant code I used for this is here:

Everything in that file is relevant except for the bgIframe plugin
which is used for an unrelated purpose.
I have not added fixed positioning support for IE6 so it fails
silently in that browser. It should be easy to add support if you
wanted to.
I just thought this may be of some use to you. Good luck.
