As IE also ignores the selector, position: fixed is never applied.
From what I can see with the current workaround position:fixed is neither used in other browsers, is it?
Don't ask me how it works, I just found it doing a Google search for "CSS IE position: fixed". It looks fine in Mozilla/IE 6/Safari, but IE 5.2 for the Mac does not recognize the "@media screen" rule and does not apply any style.
If you think your solution is easier, please apply it. I'm not a purist, so it's fine as long as it works.
