>
> DIV.foo {       right: 50px;
>         top: 10px;
>         position: fixed;
>         color: black;
>         width: 100px;
>         }

> If you look at: http://www.truthmagnet.com/v2/test.php in MOZILLA
> (at least in v1.1, or in the latest opera) you can see this behavior.

> The "HELLO" on the top right of the screen will stay put even if you
> scroll - you may have to shrink your window to see this effect.

> In explorer, this completely fails to work. In explorer, the Hello
> appears on the top left, and appears to be behaving as though
> position was set to "relative", which I THINK is the default.
>
> I've tried looking for alternate way of doing this with explorer, or
> even a way of convincing explorer to at least put stuff where it
> belongs, so that even if it doesn't stay put, it at least gets there
> to begin with, such that in mozilla it behaves as I wish, and that in
> explorer it will degrade gracefully - without having to use browser
> checking code.
