1: delete...
html, body {overflow: auto;}
...as having that property/value on body makes IE unable to scroll main
parts of your page. In fact: it makes IE6 emulate "position: fixed", but
the wrong way around - "fixing" the wrong parts.
html, body {height: 100%; max-height:100%;}
...serves no purpose either, but they do no harm if left in there.
2: delete...
#stoplist {_position: absolute;}
...as there are valid ways to hack that one in - see below.
3: add at the bottom of your stylesheet - below all other styles...
@media screen {
* html #stoplist {
position: absolute;
}
* html body div#fauxframe {
margin-bottom: -171px;
}
}
...which will make IE6 treat the page as a normal, scrollable, page with
a pretty ok line-up of page-parts. Copy and paste verbatim with @media
wrapper and all.
Regarding IE8: forget it until the IE-team has released a working
version, as fixing anything for the pretty broken IE8b1 is a complete
waste of time.
Note that "fixed" elements are fixed to the browser-window, so the
vertical nav will overlap main text when horizontal scrolling is needed
on narrow windows. This gets worse if font-resizing is added to the
equation, since 'em-sized' elements means everything but the header
takes up more space when font-size is blown up.
