[css-d] Degrading position:fixed for IE/Win

Sent by Kevin W on 27 June 2002 23:11

IE6 for Windows seems to treat position:fixed as static (rather than
ignoring it).  As a result, using {position:absolute; position:fixed}
doesn't work as a fallback [1].

I've found one way around it: wrap the fixed element in a div and make
that one position:absolute.  However, that method needs extra markup
and that's bad.  Is there another way?

Thanks in advance.
