IE7, Firefox, Opera and Safari all scroll the main content whilst
leaving the nav bar fixed at the left top, as expected. IE6 scrolls
everything.

What the 'fixed positioning' fix for IE6 article does not mention is
that _all_ 'absolute' or 'relative' positioned elements are affected by
the fix. This tends to make the fix fail in IE6 initially, but with
a bit of careful restyling of _interfering_ positioning you _can_ make
it work - for most layouts.

Re: [css-d] IE6 fixed positioning woes
Hi Georg.
I'll try that out later today/tomorrow.
I did wonder whether there was some info that was not in the original article.
You have kindly provided it. Thanks.
As Mr Schwarzenegger said I'll be back (to report that is g)
Regards,
Alan.

Re: [css-d] IE6 fixed positioning woes
Hi again Georg.
I played around with the CSS (below) today and it's only a partial fix.
It makes the navbar appear to be fixed when scrolling vertically, but the
entire page scrolls horizontally. Also, if you resize the browser, it gets to a
certain point where the window height is shorter than the navbar and even the
'vertical fix' fails to work.
Even though I added #homecontent to the static definition, it screwed the
positioning of elements in the home page in all browsers, but that's probably
because I missed a 'static' in the home page somewhere.
I didn't need to reposition anything on the other pages, but I suspect I may
run foul with absolutes, once the tables are removed.
Thanks for trying anyway - the search continues.
Regards,
Alan.
