Why am I plagued with the curse of people thinking I'm being a smart
ass or taunting them -- even when I'm not? It's wasn't intended here
at least.

I posted the original question about simulating frames with CSS
several weeks ago, and if memory serves correct, I got zero
responses. Certainly none closer to a solution since other than than
"position: fixed is buggy, avoid it" ... which indeed seems an
acceptable approach.

Samir, I feel your pain in only being able to achieve the effect you
desire in a limited number of browsers ... I've achieved the effect I
want in IE 5.x Win and Mac, and NN 6.x Win and Mac ... and had to
resort to proprietary methods to do that ... I'd be overjoyed if
there was a way to do it that would work the same in a variety of
browsers ... that's the kind of thing I'm looking for ... as well as
compelling reasons why I shouldn't give up and use "real" frames ...
there's been some of the latter, but none of the former.

Anyway,  I wasn't trying to offend or belittle, and feel bad that
something about my language of late has given that impression to more
than one person  ... you'll know when I'm trying to insult someone if
you see a comparison to a life form without a backbone or that lays
it's eggs in the water.
