[RESOLVED] Position: fixed and IE6

@NogDogMar 05.2006

Before I waste any more time with it, does anyone know off the top of their head whether or not IE6 supports position: fixed?

@pcthugMar 05.2006 — #No, just reverts to Absolute positioning.

Nevertheless M$ reassures us that we can expect to see full support for [I]position: fixed[/I] in future versions

@NogDogauthorMar 05.2006 — #Thanks, I won't bang my head on that wall now. ?

@FangMar 05.2006 — #Just for the record, IE7 will support [I]position:fixed[/I]

@UltimaterMar 06.2006 — #Without getting into JavaScript, about the best you can serve up IE 6.0 is a page using frames. Otherwise I'd take the  approach in combination with some JavaScript.

I'm not 100%, but I think if you have a frame taking up the whole screen and you have an absolutely positioned smaller frame stacked on top of it, that it would give the fixed effect.

Edit: The frame idea worked perfectly.

<i>
 </i>&lt;iframe src="http://www.yahoo.com" width="100%" height="100%" style="border:0;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
 &lt;div style="position:absolute; left:20px; top:70px;"&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.google.com" style="border:0;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

@bokehMar 06.2006 — #If you want to do a [I]position:fixed;[/I] for everyone that uses a decent browser and still have it work in IE do something like the following:

[code=html]#divName{
 position: fixed;
 left:19px;
 top:80px;
 width: 165px;
 }
 
 /* IE only */
 * html #divName{
 position: absolute;
 }[/code]

There are other dodges that do result in real fixed positioning in IE but these seem to rely on Javascript.

@NogDogauthorMar 06.2006 — #Thanks, all, bit it's not important enough that I'm going to mess things up with JavaScript or browser hacks. In this case, cleanliness of markup will outweigh cosmetics. (I know: I'll never make it as a graphic artist with an attitude like that. ? )
