Here's another one. IE 6 does not properly support "background: fixed 
no-repeat" properly when applied to a div. This is a shame because it's so 
useful.

Open both NS6.1 (or moz 0.9.2 up) and IE 6, then look at

to see what I'm talking about. this is a page inspired by 

http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/complexspiral/demo.html

I wanted to see if IE 6 would render it correctly, but nope. Looks like MS 
has a little ways to go yet in achieving full compliance, despite their 
rhetoric. :(
