        Subject:        [css-d] How To: Fixed Positioned Elements?


I just visited http://www.webdu.com.au/ and noticed how the header
(including logo, nav links, etc.) and the background to the left are
all fixed on the screen. What is really cool is how the scroll bar
appears for the entrire page, but only the content scrolls.

How is this done? I know IE has some bugs with fixed position, so it
can't be that straight forward I am afraid.

Thanks for your help,
Aaron

This effect is known as CSS Frames. There are a number of web sites that 
can help you with this effect.
The key is to put in your css:

html {
        overflow:hidden;
        }
body {
        height:100%;
        overflow:auto;
        width:100%,
        }

These three sites will explain more fully and show examples:

www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/framed.html 
www.fu2k.org/alex/css/frames/

I especially like the last one, as he shows you how to do it with complex 
layouts.
