Yep. I have messed with fixed positioning in 1999, then a couple of
years later, and now. Each time I just gave up and hoped for the best
that browsers would support fixed positioning, and went back to using
tables.

What I really like about fixed positioning is that you can transform a
web page into something that works like frames, yet has few of the
problems of frames (bookmarking, printing).

So I am still somewhat shocked that of the browsers I see people use, it
looks like Windows based version of MSIE is the only one that does not
support CSS2 fixed positioning. Even their Mac version supports fixed
positioning.
