Can't help you with your hair-problem, and I think you'll run into two problems that together makes your layout-problem nearly unsolvable in practice. 1: how tall is a browser-window? I usually limit the hight-range to from 400px to 2400px, which already is too much for most such layouts. The real size-range is larger. 2: plenty of visitors will use a browser that doesn't support the relevant CSS properties, so you'll have to add workarounds for those. Apart from that the recipe has been around for a while - here... <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#fixed-positioning> ...but you'll have to relax on your requirements a bit if you want it to work in practice, or else you'll just keep on losing hair for no good reason. A workaround for the weakest browser in regular use can be found here... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_15.html> ...but it doesn't solve the problem with the size-range for browser-windows. It does however solve the problems well enough for comfort for "slightly less fixed and a lot more relaxed" designs, like this one... <http://www.gunlaug.no/main-en.html> ...which at the moment is waiting for an improved beta-version of IE8 to arrive. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
