[WSG] site check please! - no frames and position-fixed

Hello all, I would really really like your feedback on this. I have now completed my investigations into emulating frames with overflow etc, and have settled instead on a very neat method which uses an expression for IE. The method is basically the one by Anne van Kesteren [1] and it's really

Re: [WSG] Any Safari 1.0 users out there?

It's definitely not nearly as bad. Very few people still have safari 1.0. I do but that's because up until lately I've been too broke to upgrade to 10.3 (which is required for safari 1.2). Plus, the problems in the differences between Safari versions isnt nearly as bad as they are with ie pc.
