Hi Georg

I've tidied up the code and tested it in IE6 at an internet cafe:

http://www.richardnicholson.com/testing/menu_with_frames6/editorial.html

It is NOT THE SAME in IE6 as it is in Firefox.

I think it's better!

The screens in the internet cafe were low resolution, and also IE was 
crammed with toolbars. This meant that there was a little vertical 
scrolling on my page.

Interestingly, in IE, vertical scrolling behaved as if there was no 
frame - i.e. the nav menu disappeared off the top of the screen.

In FF (or any other browser which recognises position:fixed) the nav 
menu is stuck there at the top, whichever way you scroll.

I like the IE way better, as it frees up some screen real-estate to 
display the pictures. And when you get to the end of a long line of 
images, you can just nudge the scroll wheel up to get back to the menu.

Hmmm, I'm assuming that this sort of behaviour can not be created using 
pure CSS? (Ideally I'd fix the menu horizontally, but not vertically).

Apart from this added feature, your fix for IE6 worked exactly as I had 
hoped (the scrolling action seems totally normal). Thank you very much 
- it's a very tidy solution.

All the best

Richard

- In the above link I've also implemented the solution David Laakso 
suggested to me a couple of weeks ago, to turn off the dotted borders 
in IE5 and 6 (substituting them for solid borders - I think I've done 
it right (?)). Actually this might not have been necessary as I could 
no longer replicate the problem of horizontal dashes blurring into each 
other. That's either because the dashes are now on a table rather than 
a div, or it's something in your scrolling expression that has fixed 
it. (Anyway, I only really like dots, not dashes, so the dashes have 
gone!)
