Thanks to some great advice from list members, I have a (large) file 
up and running with a fixed menu that *stays* fixed in IE6. 
[http://users.rcn.com/rtberg2/hp_ctr.html]  But now I find that the 
"Back" function doesn't work in IE6!  Does anyone have any insight 
into this sort of problem?  It happens on another file that uses the 
same construction, which I've sketched below. The solution I arrived 
at for the fixed menu is to have a duplicate menu <nav> *outside* 
<container1> that only shows up in IE6--<nav1> is for everyone 
else.  Everything works like a charm except for the "Back" problem.

It's the xhtml1-transitional DTD. (I've had to replace the angle 
brackets below with square brackets to keep Eudora happy.)

Any hard-won wisdom on this one?

Thanks.
