Re: [css-d] position:fixed & IE6/PC - Take 2

Sent by Chris Casciano on 26 February 2002 14:02


This thread seems to have gotten majorly derailed... So let me restate my
question. In a non-scrolling page I was to to set a given element to
position:fixed. Alternately for IE6, and other browsers that don't know what
position:fixed is I want to set that same element to position:absolute
instead (rather then have it default to static).

I had tried:

But that didn't seem to work. My knowledge of CSS & how browsers are
*supposed* to deal with properties and values it doesn't understand made me
think that should.

Workaround and hacks I'm quite capable of (infact the original document is
already using php to flip between absolute and fixed). And I'm not knockin'
Mark's work by any means, it just didn't answer /my/ question.
