Actually, there is a position:fixed which does work with the viewport,
unfortunately not in IE

Can't be done with CSS... CSS has no direct access to the dimensions of the
view-port (lord only knows why). So there's no way to assign it to 5 pixels
above the bottom edge of the window. This is the reason for all those
JavaScript widgets that float around near the top or bottom of the window
and why they're all garbage.
