john,
the solution requires putting the an html comment above the doctype declaration.
If you also add this CSS hack it will work in IE/Mac, Safari and IE5 and 5.5/Windows:
/* Mac IE cannot read this \*/
* html body{
/* only IE Win and MacOSX can see this,
but is hidden from Mac IE by previous filter.*/
overflow:hidden;
}
* html div#content{
/* only IE Win and MacOSX can see this,
but is hidden from Mac IE by previous filter.*/
height:100%;
width:100%;
overflow:auto;
}
hope this helps,
Grant

Subject: Re: [WSG] help with fixed positioning in IE
I appreciate the discussion on this...really, I do. :) Is there
somebody who might be able to help me integrate this into my existing
CSS? Am I to understand that I can't have my DOCTYPE set to XHTML (I'm
not very well-versed in what "IE Quirk Mode" is)?
Thanks.
