Fixed positioning in IE

From the post on your site:

I know IE doesn’t support fixed positioning and I’ve tried a few of the different work-arounds I found around the internet. It looks better, but not the way I would like it to.

What do you mean by “not the way I would like it to?”
Can you link me up to all those resources?

IE is a nightmare with fixed positioning. You’d be better off with a floated layout, at least then, with maybe a hack or two, IE can be made to behave.

But if you’re determined to make what you have work, maybe something here might help:

There are some warnings with XP SP2 and High Security firewall settings, so it’s really going to depend on what your audience is and the purpose of the site as to whether you should go ahead, or just scrap the idea in favor of something that can be made to workin IE more easily and will reach a larger audience.

@ alphaoide: Well, in Firefox, the middle pane where the text in should scroll independantly of the rest of the theme as though it were inside a frame.

In Internet Explorer, I’ve gotten so it simply writes over the layout. I’d like it to behave like a frame.

Some of the resources I used are:

And then I also peeked at the source of “Framefake theme” at Alexking.org to see how he did it.

@ kickass: Thank you! Those are interesting, but I’m not sure if I like the idea of taking that kind of risk.

I’ll have to try floating the layout and see what I can’t do there.

Thank you again!

Thank you so much for you help!

I created an IE specific style sheet and used one of their extensions to call it to my site. I read the articles posted and decided it wasn’t worth the work.

Thank you so much, alphaoide and kickass for all your help!
