Yes, and yes. You have removed the scrollbar from its normal place for IE/Win and put it on a different element. As you discovered, if you make that element narrower than the size of your window, then the scrollbar will not be at the edge of the window. I suspect that the scrollbar being below the header is partially because of the above reason, and partially because IE6 is in quirks mode. (If you get rid of the xml declaration, IE6 will put the bar to the top, but this of course messes up the fixed-positioning stuff as you currently have it written). I don't remember anymore off the top of my head what I did (several years ago) for my proof-of-concept page that I did with fixed positioning, but IE6 is in standards-compliant mode, and the scrollbar goes to the top (and bottom) of the page, and otherwise works similarly to what you want, I believe. Disadvantage: The IE5.x/Win's will not display the fixed positioning with the method I used (original Ghost-in-a-box, has a fixed top and left side "decoration"). Here's a link if you'd like to check it out. http://members.dslextreme.com/users/cssjedi/index1.html I'm sure there are others with solutions to your dilemma. I haven't worked with fixed positioning in quirks mode, so I don't have any immediate suggestions for you.
