I've seen plenty of problems with badly constructed CSS based 
workarounds for 'position: fixed' in IE6, but, as mentioned below: the 
source code in your page is of much too low quality to bother debugging 
your construction.

Well, it sure is *not* xhtml 1.0 Transitional, no matter what the DTD 
says...

Well, I normally wouldn't run IE6 in standard mode with such a 
construction, but I haven't managed to break the [back] button no matter 
how I run my CSS based version...

...but I know many can't get it to work.

I prefer the alternative 'position: fixed' workaround with an 
IE-expression...

<http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_15.html>

...and haven't experienced any real problems with that one.


Another detail: I can't really see the point in having duplicate menus, 
as the proper 'position: fixed' doesn't rely on where the element is in 
the source code. So why not use the "IE6 menu" in all browsers?
