    I have a wonderful little page that works excellently in Firefox, and as always fails in IE6. This time it is an issue with position: fixed; versus position:absolute; The absolute solution works perfectly in IE6 except it doesn't scroll with the page, so when I try to use position: fixed; I get a nightmare: the content has resumed its place in the document (even though it is currently visibility:hidden;) and is just as though I had told it position: static;.

    Please help!

    Oh, haha, the Norwegian Cow guy. Yeah, he's great. Eric Meyer also has a trick for making the appearance of position: fixed for IE6. I think he used it for his Complex Spiral Demo, or one of those demos... http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/complexspiral/demo.html

    Sometimes, it's better to fake it than to try to get IE6 to do it : )
