Why's this NG not good for CSS problems?

comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets -->
Otherwise Google for stylesheet in the Google groups

I looked at the topics and I wasn't sure. So here it is:
I use position:fixed in my stylesheet. That works fine in Firefox but
not at all in IE. Is this property supported by other browsers? Is there
a way to emulate it? What would you advise?

Position:fixed isn't currently supported by IE but can be emulated by
using divs set to 100% height and auto-overflowing the outer div.

IE doesn't support position:fixed, but you can use

I am a bit of an expert on what is on topic here and css is. Let
me reassure you... Go on, ask anything, anything at all. And if
you don't get an answer in the time it takes a kangaroo to jump
a farmer's fence, I'll walk barefoot to Alice Springs and
back...

I would like to see that. When you're walking barefoot to Alice Springs
and back.

Thanks! I will try it, hoping it won't conflict with the other layers.

Thanks for your offer. My question is all about position:fixed. I now
know, thanks to Neredbojias, how to emulate it in IE. I would also need
to know how it is supported by Opera and Safari.

Btw, it's quite funny to see a link to kernel.org in a mock up of the
Windows system tray.

Maybe your site will be a bit confusing for Windows XP users to use? They
might get muddled up about which is the real taskbar etc.

You're right but this is not so important. Visitors are supposed to
click on the icons, not to navigate in the site. But I will keep that in
mind: right now the ratio is about 45% (about 45% of the visitors do
click on the taskbar).

Why don't you just download Opera and see for yourself? It's free.
<URL:http://opera.com/>

Here's a tip: most modern graphical browsers support most of CSS2 just
fine, including position:fixed. However, IE is not a modern browser (on
either Win or Mac).

Having said that, please don't use position:fixed unless you've given
very careful consideration to how your particular case adapts to
different window and text sizes. Too often I've seen it used as an
ill-conceived way for a deezyner to control the layout, resulting in an
unusable page in my not-exactly-average browsing environment. In the
wrong hands, position:absolute is bad, position:fixed can be worse.

I will. They have a static linux exec in their archives.

Ok. This is just for the main page. Even position:fixed is not perfect
for the effect I want. I would need something conditionnal. But I don't
want to add javascript code. Maybe there is another solution but I'm too
new to CSS to know how to combine div, position:relative, height and
max-height to get what I want.
