Hi Nancy, Fixed positioning DOES work in IE and position:fixed should work just fine in IE7-8 without any need for scripting. It's IE6 that's the real bear. I use the snippet below to emulate fixed positioning in IEs older than IE7. To know why your page isn't behaving as expected, we'd need to see it in context (i.e. a link to an online example). Here's the code I use: <style type="text/css"> #fixed { /** * Standards compliant browsers will fix this box on the page. *******************************************************************/ background: #ccc; position: fixed; top: 0; width: 100%; } </style> <!--[if lt IE 7]> <style type="text/css"> html { /** * This fixes the jumpiness in IE6 * when using expressions for fixed positioning. *******************************************************************/ background-image: url('about:blank'); background-attachment: fixed; } #fixed { /** * Fixed positioning emulation expression. *******************************************************************/ position: absolute; top: expression(((e=document.documentElement.scrollTop)? e:document.body.scrollTop)+'px'); } </style> <![endif]--> Hope it helps. --Bill -- /** * Bill Brown * TheHolierGrail.com & MacNimble.com * From dot concept...to dot com...since 1999. ***********************************************/ ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
