IE6 doesn't like my simple jQuery: Any idea why?

The following piece of jQuery is used on a page which has a message at the top, and all the comments which reply to the message below it.

Internet Explorer 6 Script Timeline

I need to fix a footer to the bottom of the viewport. IE 6 is the problem--and yes, it must work in IE 6. That much, is not my call. Using this: div#footer { width:1020px; position: absolute; top: expression(0+((e=document.documentElement.scrollTop)?e:document.body.scrollTop)+'px'); left: expression(50%+((e=document.documentElem...

Using "bottom: expression (0+ ... ;" for IE 6 Fixed Positioning

This seems like I'm just missing some syntax or getting it wrong, but on an ie6 specific style-sheet this locks it to the top of the view-port and stays fixed despite scrolling: top: expression(0+((e=document.documentElement.scrollTop)?e:document.body.scrollTop)+'px'); But, this does not lock it to the bottom in the same manner: bot...
