Re: positioning sidebar vs content

>>>>>
You are on the right track, just need to make a few adjustments (given
below.) However, fixed positioning is currenly supported only in Opera6,
Mozilla1, Netscape6, and IE6 (IE6 testing done by a friend, so I can't
guarantee that it will look the same as the other three browsers as I
didn't see it myself.)

MSIE does not support fixed positioning. The only thing to do with MSIE
is to accept that anything labeled fixed will scroll with the page. 

I recently had some time off to delve into this and I was somewhat blown
away that MSIE has not really made any advances in fixed positioning
since the release of the 4.0 browser back in October of 1997. 

There is a JavaScript work around for MSIE.

It feels really weird that today HTML and CSS of MSIE is not as good as
other browsers like Mozilla 1.0, Opera 6.x or Konquerer.
