Hi again Georg. I played around with the CSS (below) today and it's only a partial fix.
It makes the navbar appear to be fixed when scrolling vertically, but the entire page scrolls horizontally. Also, if you resize the browser, it gets to a certain point where the window height is shorter than the navbar and even the 'vertical fix' fails to work. Even though I added <#homecontent> to the static definition, it screwed the positioning of elements in the home page in all browsers, but that's probably because I missed a 'static' in the home page somewhere. I didn't need to reposition anything on the other pages, but I suspect I may run foul with absolutes, once the tables are removed. Thanks for trying anyway - the search continues.

What the "'fixed positioning' fix for IE6" article does not mention is that _all_ 'absolute' or 'relative' positioned elements are affected by the "fix". This tends to make the "fix" fail in IE6 initially, but with a bit of careful restyling of _interfering_ positioning you _can_ make it work - for most layouts. 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/
