Thanks. The HTML-Files i always generate with UltraEdit, but because of
I am not very close to the CSS syntax, I let Adobe GoLive CS 2.0
generating the CSS code for me. Seems to me that GL has to learn like me

Bye,
Martin

<snipping stuff about IE failing to honour position:fixed>

IE won't recognise position:fixed AFAIK. Opera, FF and other modern
browsers do.

There are several hacks available to work around the problem. Google and
you'll find. Or do as I do, ignore IE ...

What a great idea!

Similar to the record shop I used to work in. We used to ignore 9 out of
every 10 customers who came in the shop, because we knew that the 10th
customer had great taste in music and would buy a really good quality
album[1]. Needless to say, the record shop is now closed...

[1] needless to say, I actually made that up. I was using it as a simile.
Obviously, we dealt with every customer equally, regardless of how ****
their taste in music was. We just bitched about them afterwards! It's
true about the shop being closed though

The discussion was about "position:fixed" and how IE dealt with it. If I
am not too mistaken, IE will treat position:fixed as position:absolute. I
can live with that.

In general, of course one cannot ignore the fact that the majority uses
IE. And if IE renders a page totally messed-up, one has to deal with it.

Never would've guessed...

Oh.

They probably didn't appreciate the similes.

ISTR that IE doesn't just treat position:fixed as position:absolute but
instead mishandles it rather badly. What's working for me is to add this
to my HTML:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie.css">
<![endif]-->

And then in ie.css I add rules to override position:fixed with this:
position: absolute ! important;

See my sig for a live example.

I think I've read that IE7 supports position:fixed but I have not tested
it myself.


Cheers

That would be you *and* Microsoft then I'm guessing!

No you weren't; you were suing it as a metaphor.

Does suing as a metaphor require an imaginary lawyer, or can
you just take it to the small claims court in Oz?

As it so happens, there is just such a court down under here. Its
lists are chocker block covering cases to do with the use of the
apostrophe, similes and metaphors, the confusion between irony
and sarcasm, and so on are piled up behind... I have appeared
before it myself. I got off with a plea of being Alien.
