Does IE support position...

[Manish]

Does IE support the style -
position:fixed;
as specified by CSS 2
(see - http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/menus.html )

If yes, which version? I haven't been able to make it work on my IE5.5 (PC).
It seems IE 5.x does support it on Mac. -

Any pointers, documents?

Well, as far as I know it doesn't support it. Anyway with dhtml you don't
need such a property(although it would help a lot!!!). You can use onscroll
etc to reposition an absolute div. You can find many examples of this a
www.dynamicdrive.com .

Thanx,

I have been doing it this way (repositioning) for some time now, and thought
it might be helpful if "fixed" is supported by IE after seeing the way it
works in Netscape 6.1. The reson I thought it might be supported on Mac
because in the link I have given in the mail, the article mentions that IE
supports it on Mac, and it has snapshots of IE and it comes from Apple site
itself, so I thought .....
Here is the snipet -

Browser Support
Positioning is one of those areas where everyone wants to support it
correctly, but few do. Fortunately, two of the best engines are available
for the Macintosh: Internet Explorer 5.x and Netscape 6. These browsers can
both be expected to make proper use of simple fixed positioning styles; that
is, positioning which doesn't depend on scrolling overflow.

Anyway,
It would be great if IE starts supporting it on PC.

IE5/Mac's implementation of position:fixed is buggy (as was NS6.0's--that's
why it was disabled in the release version). Something about the text of
links staying put, but the _active_ link moving when the page scrolled (or
was that the NS6 problem?). It works fine for plain text/images so you can
brand your page but it's a dismal flop as a replacement for a navigation
frame, which is what most people want to use it for.

I'm sure Netscape's taking nine months to release a working version of their
version 6 browser (NS6.1 is out of beta!) took a lot of pressure off MS to
fix their own standards-compliance problems.
