Yes, they must have worked overtime on that one. It's a master-piece in
browser-specific markup, scripting and styling - complete ignorance when
it comes to standards, and totally failed reliance on error-recovery.

XHTML Transitional with 261 [errors]...
<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://home.skysports.com/>

I didn't think /anyone/ could still manage to create such a mess, but
the people behind that site have proved me wrong.
If only they had made it work across browser-land...

Well, they haven't done very well, but it's no big deal to fix elements
to the bottom of the window or anywhere else.
A simple 'position: fixed' does it in all somewhat standard-aware browsers.

If you want IE6 in on the game, then one of these will do...
<http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_15.html>
<http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_17.html>
Same 'position: fixed', but different "fixes" for IE6 and IE5+.

Just add a link around or inside the 'fixed' element - depending on what
markup you end up with.

Having written that; I can't think of a good reason for a link to 'top
of page', since all browsers I know of understand a push on the [Home]
key perfectly well.
