I searched for “Unsupported value: “fixed’” and reached here.
Thanks… this makes an idea of my problem.

Posiiton fixed is something I try to avoid as much as possible because of the IE6 issue. If you have a good workaround let me know!

people love to hate ie6, but the thing is, because its such a problematic browser, there are stacks of talented people coming up with workarounds, fixes, etc for it.
IE6 has 20% of browser users still. def worth paying attention to.

The problem with IE6 is that it will be supported by Microsoft until 2010 plus it is used (as far as I know) as a primary browser within most business organsiations, and usually (for some baffling reason) their IT departments are reluctant to upgrade to better browsers

Not to throw a spanner in the works, but with progressive enhancement in mind, we shouldn’t worry about our websites looking the same in all the browsers…. On top of that, we really need to start moving away from IE6, otherwise it will never disappear.

Now when I think of it, this could be a very small plug-in — just a concept.

1) On document.ready create a dummy element; 2) change position to fixed and bottom to 0;

Now having in mind that the initial position is static and unrecognized property values result into default value, thus if fixed is unsupported the value will remain static

3) check for bottom offset 4) if it is 0, the position:fixed is supported, if not use the above mentioned fix; 5) delete the dummy element.

@Sam, you’d be surprised how easy the FB workaround is: 1) add a class to the HTML that removes overflow; 2) inject an extra wrapper that has width and height of 100%, overflow and relative position; 3) make the “presence bar” absolute positioned.

Another option is to play with _property: expression(“…”), but you risk crashing the browser.

@Jestep, why not use a shorter hack e.g. _position:absolute ;)

I usually use this technique to get things to be fixed in IE6~

Jestep, that solution will only work if you’re not using any REAL absolutely positioned elements on your page – they’ll just end up as position:fixed;. IE6 really sucks!
