What's the secret to getting IE to work with position:fixed in css? I have a friend with a website that uses a fixed home button down the right-hand column. It's set at top:80%. It works as expected everywhere but IE. In IE, the button is more like 10% from the top.
Any ideas how to get this to work? Or does IE just not honor fixed position?

Which IE? That is the question.

I know they've used IE 8 and 9. Maybe 7, too.

Have you tried installing a CSS reset stylesheet?

No. Would that make a difference? From what I can understand, it sounds like IE simply doesn't do fixed correctly. Or, at least, not as intended.

HTML 4.01 Transitional.
It validates without errors.

Converting to xhtml didn't help.

Make sure you trigger standards mode and not quirks mode and it should work. Quirks mode will not support position:fixed.
try an html5 doctype. <!DOCTYPE html>, but an
Make sure to set a top and left when writing the CSS
position: fixed
top: 0;
left: 0;

That did the trick!
IE7 still has a slight display issue with the fixed home button in the right column (it displays it outside the column to the right) but I can live with that, since it wasn't showing up at all in previous builds. Neither 7 or 8 are displaying the shadow beneath the top banner, but that's ok, too. IE9 and 10 look perfect.
Many thanks.
Of course, using a plain <!DOCTYPE html> declaration means the existing code does not validate, since it's HTML 4.

If you want IE6,7,8 to display any CSS3 properties (drop shadow, border-radius), you have to set up CSS3Pie. It's a little javascript thing, and awesome.

I'm not worrying about IE6.
I installed PIE a couple of days ago, and the results were pretty bad. Like, everything other than the top banner failed to display, bad. I removed it for now.
