I've seen plenty of problems with badly constructed CSS based 
workarounds for 'position: fixed' in IE6, but, as mentioned below: the 
source code in your page is of much too low quality to bother debugging 
your construction.

Well, it sure is *not* xhtml 1.0 Transitional, no matter what the DTD 
says...





...and it looks like Tidy gave up on it.

Well, I normally wouldn't run IE6 in standard mode with such a 
construction, but I haven't managed to break the [back] button no matter 
how I run my CSS based version...



...but I know many can't get it to work.

I prefer the alternative 'position: fixed' workaround with an 
IE-expression...



...and haven't experienced any real problems with that one.


Another detail: I can't really see the point in having duplicate menus, 
as the proper 'position: fixed' doesn't rely on where the element is in 
the source code. So why not use the "IE6 menu" in all browsers?

[css-d] IE6 "Back" function fubar?

[Bob Rosenberg]

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  *outside* 
 that only shows up in IE6-- 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.
