position:fixed ie6

[bartoszdesign]

i'm currently working on a website, which has a fixed bar on top incl. a webform which drops down on click via jquery.

ie7, ff2, ff3, safari and opera are working just fine, but ie6 the bitch is not cooperating.

i've been googlin' around and there are several different fixes, but nothing clear.

maybe one of you can help?

Hmm, as far as I know it's completely unsupported in IE6.

I'd use an IE6 stylesheet to drop it back to position:absolute; - it's the next best thing.

The only other option is to use javascript just for ie6 to change the position of the bar whenever the page is scrolled. It doesn't work smoothly though.

okidoki, as i have to fix some other dodgy things ie6 is displaying, an ie6 stylesheet might be a good idea. thanks guys

Here is the tip:

<?php
function agent($browser) {
$useragent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
return strstr($useragent,$browser);
}?>

<?php if (agent("MSIE 6.0") != FALSE): ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://domain.com/styleie6.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<?php else : ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://domain.com/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<?php endif; ?>

There's no need to do this server side, you could use client side conditional comments.

What he said.

Don't waste time and effort with that when conditional comments are much more suitable.
