Microsoft CSS Expressions can also be used. It's far simpler and will
not turn every absolutely positioned element on a page to "fixed".
#menubar {
margin-top:
expression(parseInt(document.body.parentNode.scrollTop)+"px");
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: whatever;
}

Yes, but will it work in anything but IE6?
Besides, you didn't read the page closely enough. Not all absolutely
positioned elements on the page will be "fixed".

Of course. Only IE5.x+ reads the expression, the position: fixed
declaration is still there for modern browsers
I am very familier with that technique. I am the "MXVisions" reference
he made
. It was a good technique - it is now over-complicated forthe task.
One little expression is all it takes

Re: moving menusJens,
The expression makes it work in IE Other browsers support
position:fixed, so won't need the expression. The technique in that article,
ie putting this
html
{
overflow: hidden;
}
body
{
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
on a page will make every absolutely positioned element fixed.
Try sticking a bunch of text and then a layer/positioned div on a page -
note the layer now behaves as position:fixed rather than position:absolute.

Try reading a little further down.
As he writes, the first example has some drawbacks.

Re: moving menusJens,
I read all the way down - I tend to do that when reading an article
He puts forward one, and only one, example which may have been useful some
while ago but has been overtaken by events. The expression another guy
posted up would be a better solution or one could accomplish the same thing
by scripting against the IE only onscroll event - a purist would probably
want to do everything with CSS.
What would you suggest is the best way to "fake" position:fixed in IE?

A little farther down on the page you find this example:
body
{
overflow: hidden;
}
div.content
{
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
Which you can see is somewhat different from the first example on the
page which you quoted.
About this example he also notes that:
Absolutely positioned elements outside of div.content will be fixed in
respect to the viewport, absolutely positioned elements inside of
div.content will behave normally.
So as you see not all absolutely positioned elements on the page will
appear "fixed".
As to what I will recommend depends on how the expression based solution
works. If it works in IE5+ as he writes and doesn't stutter on the
screen as the script based examples I have seen, I will recommend that.
Otherwise the solution above would be my choice for now.
I will write a simple test later so I can see how it behaves.
