Why is this?
Because that's what fixed positioning means, plain and simple. It means that something is fixed to a particular position in the viewport, so that even if all the other content scrolls off screen, you still see that div sitting in the same place on the screen and never moving. > Why not make it behave like > absolute positioning but not allow it to scroll down with everything else? > What you are asking for *is* absolute positioning -- positioning one div relative to another -- so why not just use absolute positioning? That will allow your div to move along with the other div when the browser is scrolled. Switch your fixed div to absolute and it will do what you want. Zoe -- Zoe M.
