CSS Semi-fixed Element - follow-up question

Answer 1

A:

Hello,

IE does not like your doctype and is running with quirks mode activated. this is why it does not work.

Try this one and see if it works:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;

Thanks Alin, changing to that doctype works but validator.w3.org reports 402 page errors (page currently has two errors). 4.01 strict only gives 15 errors so going to go with that:

Thanks Alin, changing to that doctype works but validator.w3.org reports 402 errors (transitional HTML has 2 errors). Using 4.01 strict only gives 15 errors. When scrolling down page the div moves fine but when I scroll back to top of page the div covers the header because the "var scrollerTopMargin = $("#scroll-container").offset().top;" line is returning -2... any ideas?

No :). Start debugging.

Answer 2

A:

To run IE8 in standard mode you need to choose a strict doctype, not a a transitional one
