Tutorial 24: Fixing Frames with Fixed Positioning
Summary
HTML Frames have been used so far on the Web to provide sections of
a Web page that scroll independantly of each other, but they cause a
lot of hassle, making linking difficult and breaking the consistency
of our documents. CSS fixed positioning helps us work around this by
positioning parts of one document relative to the viewport. The
overflow property can be used to control their scrolling
appropriately. By being careful about how you position these elements,
you can have your layout fall back to the default rendering on
Navigator 4 and Internet Explorer, making this technique useable in a
production environment.
