[monicasaha]

can anybody tell me how can I make IE 6 understand the "position".. i.e

postion:fixed, absolute; whatever?

I think you are looking for the star html hack. Here is an article that might be helpful:

position:absolute;

This works for me in IE6 and all the other browsers I test in (IE7, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, Avant, Maxthon)

The boxes I have look like this:


#info1 {
position:absolute;
top:250px;
left:525px;
width:200px;
background:url(../images/bg.png);
border:thin solid #999999;
padding: 5px;
font-size:0.8em;
}

i wanna use position fixed . I cannot make it out in IE 6 only..is there any tricks to do that?

[Snookerman]

I suggest you take a look at the link I provided again. Using position absolute with the hack will act as position fixed in IE6.

If you could please post a link to your site I could try to fix your problem (pun not intended :rolleyes:).

}


just remove width and try it...

If you look at my last post in this thread you can see a simple example of fixed positioning that works in all browsers including IE6 using the html star hack:

I'm sure you can rewrite it to work on your site, good luck!

Just noticed that post was for you as well
