Position: fixed is buggy or unsupported in just about every browser.
Personally, I just avoid it. If you /really/ need to use it, some JS is
probably necessary.
It's one of only a few cases like that, though.
As for your example page, I'm visiting in Mozilla and get a plain-jane
version of the page, not the NN6 version. That points out the danger in JS
browser sniffing: if you don't do it right, you'll wind up excluding
browsers that you shouldn't.
For a fix, try looking for 'Gecko' instead of 'Netscape' in your sniffer.
