EUREKA - I think i've got it!

| | Comments (2)

Well, I think I have figured out how to at least make the page look better when it won't load a fixed position element. I changed the position from fixed to absolute, and then added this little piece of code just below in the css file:

body>div.banner {position: fixed}

Now, if the browser allows - the item will appear to float, otherwise the item just scrolls with the page....I guess it's better than nothing!

I believe that I also discovered the reason behind it...IE doesn't support fixed positioning unless you have a newer version of IE7...and apparently the early beta release of IE7 didn't support fixed either. Curse you Microsoft!!!! Get with the times!!!!!

I hope this works properly in our presentation today :)

Hi Kyle, even we faced the same situation as DIV fixed position didnt work in IE properly. But now we(MUSIC WORLD) are out of the problem. Your menu is not fixed in IE. Its scrolling with the content but working perfect in Firefox. Look at this site (http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/fixedPosition.html) once, it really help us to fix our code.
