help w/ pos:fixed; overflow:scroll

Dear group,

I wanted to make a scrollable list-menu that is fixed in place and fitted to the height of the browser window, so I tried:

ol#nav{ position: fixed; top: 2em; bottom: 0; height: auto; left: 0; width: 12em; right: auto; overflow: scroll;
}

Or should I set the menu-list's parent DIV to "position: fixed; overflow: scroll" instead?

Any tips?

thank you! -- ingrid

I'm not sure what you want; perhaps you want height: 20em; >overflow:scroll?Hi Brian! Thanks for the reply.I was thinking that {position: fixed; top: 0; bottom: 0; height: auto;overflow: scroll;} would make a fixed, scrollable list that is exactlyas tall as the browser window:http://www1.asstr.org/~ingrid/joesguide-authors.html-- warning! slightly naughty text content (but no pictures)In Camino, I can get the effect I want by applying those rules("position: fixed; overflow: scroll;...") to the list itself or to theDIV that contains the list; I don't know if there's any advantage todoing it one way versus the other.I'm a little worried that it might not show right in old and sloppybrowsers.
