vertical positioning in IE and AOL

[Pierre Jelenc]

The page at http://www.verticalsongs.com/photos.php uses "position: fixed"
to keep the navigation menu on screen, and "margin-top: 2em" to position
the top of the red border flush under the navigation bar. In AOL and MSIE
this breaks down because they do not support "position: fixed".

http://www.verticalsongs.com/photos1.php remedies that problem for those
two browsers with "margin-top: 0" so I thought one of the parsing tricks
should allow me to combine both. However neither

http://www.verticalsongs.com/photos2.php (using voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family:inherit;) nor
http://www.verticalsongs.com/photos3.php (using html>body ) work in AOL.

Since the client uses AOL, I really would like to get it to work there. Is
there any way to trick the AOL browser?

you might want to try this nice JS: http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/ - IE
should display the page like other browsers and you can save other
workarounds.

I'd rather avoid using JS, but in any case there are hacks to deal with
IE. It is the AOL browser that I'm having difficulties with since it does
not implement "fixed" but it does behave like Mozilla through the IE
hacks.
