Default IE position:fixed; hack doesn't like 4.01 strict DOCTYPE? - 07-26-2005 , 03:55 PM






Trying to get this hack to run in IE6. But it seems that it works for
me only if there is no doctype. Is this the case?

If not, then can someone tell me, please, how I've screwed up the
styling?

Page with proper doctype:

Page with no doctype:

Thanks!

You are so right! Thanks. Now how did I mess up the styling in this
first page, the page with proper doctype:

http://www.pwilson.net/cleanweb/fixe...fixpos-ie.html

And how come the hack works on this page with no doctype, which of
course will never validate:


http://www.pwilson.net/cleanweb/fixe...o-doctype.html
