IE Quirks Question for Wormo

[syonidv]

Excerpting:

Virgil: Note that the skin appears different in IE than in all other browsers (I am aware of the "bug"). IE does not support the position:fixed spec. The only way I know to "fix" this is by changing the DOCTYPE, which obviously can't be done client-side. If you know of a client-side way of forcing IE to honour position:fixed, you'll become my new hero.

Lua: I would take this to Wormo along with...

Virgil: I noticed that your site supports the "shortcut icon" even in IE. If this is accomplished by a client-side means, I'd appreciate finding out how you did it. Does IE only support .ico files?

Lua: I wish I could help you but I'm not necessarily good at coding. Although... you're welcome to ask Wormo would know more about the above questions.

Any help would be appreciated. ;D

IE wontunless you trick it my encapsulating the entire site in an iFrame. If you are trying to get something to float like my side box over there, what I did was use some JS to assign either absolute or fixed depending on the browser type. you can also add an underscore before a CSS property so that only IE reads it:

position: fixed;
_position: absolute;

and then the same with the top css, but you have to add in something special

top: 30px;
_top: expression( ( ignoreMe = document.body.scrollTop + 30) + 'px' );


as for the favicon, Im not doing anything special to it, but mine IS saved as an ico. I used an ico generator.. www.iconj.com I think

I'll give it a whirl. Thanks for the advice. (I had no idea CSS supported expressions. )
