The diversion I had made was to provide a solution, prompted by my
failed attempts to achieve your goal using several different
cross-browser CSS-only methods. The solution that I linked to was the
best alternative, as it includes "position:fixed emulation" using a
Javascript workaround by Andrew Clover and degradation for pre-v4
browsers. If that's not what you were after, then I apologize.
