ie

It turns out the Internet Explorer doesn’t properly support CSS’s position: fixed. Google led me to the following:

• How To Create – Making Internet Explorer use position: fixed;
• doxdesk.com: software: fixed.js
• Fixed Positioning for Windows Internet Explorer

The DoxDesk solution looks promising and simple, but I think bugs elsewhere in my layout are preventing it from working. It’s time to start again from scratch.

I don’t know why IE has never displayed my transparent PNGs correctly, but I know now that I’m not the only one with this complaint. Bob Osola (name?) shares my frustration, and better, he sat down and coded a solution, shared the code, and posted a wonderfully informative guide to the problem.

Not sure if your browser can display transparent PNGs properly? Follow that link for examples.
