fixed menue bar

Hi to all,

http://test.konstanze-krueger.de/ind...t_e_person.php

#sidebar {position:fixed; margin: 0px 0 0 0px; border: 0; padding: 0;
float: left;
width: 15em;
}

does anybody know why the IE does not fix the left menu bar including
the picture? It works with NE and firefox.

Seems that I uses not the correct syntax.

Regards KNut

Because IE doesn't support it yet. I am not sure if the new IE7 does
since I'm on Win2K and cannot install it....

Take care,

position: fixed does not work in IE.

You probably don't want to do that anyway. All menu items below
"Personal Data" are below the bottom edge of my browser window, and
therefore inaccessible.

When you install IE7 it uninstalls IE6. If you uninstall 7 it will
restore 6. You can "sort of" run both but not with full functionality.
The setup process is a bit tricky but I did get it to work. The only
thing I use either IE for is testing of pages. Here are some links you
can peruse.

Why do they call it the Department of Interior when they are in charge

#sidebar {position:fixed; left:0px;
float: left;
width: 15em;
}

Now it is at the left margin.

I have another other machines with IE6.0 So I do not need not to use
some "tricky" setup

But what are professional webdesigner doing. It seems to be impossible
to test all avaliable versions of browser. and as I can read from
Beauregard , there is somtehing wrong, using his browser. My 6.0 is
different from Jonathans ....

Firefox 1.5.0.3

Nothing different. What you didn't ask is "how tall is your browser
window?" Even with a maximized 800x600 browser window, with a couple of
toolbars, your menu is not completely visible, and therefore,
unclickable below a certain point. On an older 640x480 maximized window,
none of the menu items are showing at all.

You should consider not using the fixed positioning, as visitors expect
the entire page to scroll, and are accustomed to doing that.

Remember, not everyone, even with high resolution monitors, browses with
a full-screen window, and you should always test with small windows.
Screen resolution is unimportant.
