Is position:fixed supposed to work in IE 5.5?

I have to keep the Header of a table visible regardless
of vertikal scrolling. I would like to use two seperate
tables, the first constisting only of the header row, the
second table holds the reall data. Using span or div and
postion:fixed with the first table did not make the first
table stay on top of the window, it was scrolled right
away with
The code should be o.k. it worked as supposed in Mozilla
0.93.
So if IE 5.5 does not support position:fixed is there a
workaround for this?

regards, Frank

No. Not in IE6 either.

Yes. <URL:http://pastelhorn.com/project/js/scrollspy> presents a
javascript solution which is less elegant; decide for yourself if you
can live with it. Notice that it doesn't work in IE6beta unless you
leave out the doctype decleration [or declare it XHTML]. It's some
sort of bug that will be fixed before the final release.

That's what I thought, anyway.
