Position:Fixed

pbd22

hi.

i am messing around with CSS2.1 and position:fixed. I can't
seem to get a "loading" span to move a little further left onto
the page. It seems stuck on the upper right and kind of
half way off the page. Can somebody advise me as to how
to apply the appropriate padding (when i change the "em"
values it seems to have no effect). Thank you.

#loading {
position: fixed;
_position:absolute; /*IE Hack*/
top: 1em; right: 1em; width: 10em;
margin: 0;
background: #FADF71;
border:solid 1px red;
}

Sorry, that was my fault. My XMLHTTPRequest code was resetting the
location
of the loading... element when it fired. Your response did get me to
rethink my
problem so, I guess it wasn't a post in vain. Thanks for your help.

Are you seeing this in IE6 and (-)? These browsers do not honour
position:fixed.

Fixed in IE7

Hi. What is the work-around? I have " _position:absolute; /*IE Hack*/
" as
the IE hack but haven't tried it on IE6 and below yet. Any
suggestions?

Thanks.

I cannot afford to use hacks on pages with the possibility that many
pages may be long toothed. Who knows what the future holds? It would
cost a fortune to upgrade contracted work.

Condition exclusions are the way to go in my opinion, if at all.

There are other methods (rather than javascript) in the case raised ...
position absolute perhaps. But need the url for a more developed page.
