Thanks for your comments.

As far as the footer on bwm.co.uk, they are achieving the fixed position by use of the css property position: fixed for compliant browsers like Netscape6+/Mozilla, Opera 5+, Konqueror, Safari, OmniWeb 4.5+, ICEbrowser.

As for the other ‘lesser’ browsers that don’t understand this property (IE 5, IE 5.5, IE 6, etc.), they are using the css property position: absolute combined with a conditional element that makes use of proprietary ‘expression’s in css (introduced by Microsoft from version IE 5 onwards).

Hopefully, when IE 7 eventually comes out, it will be much more compliant to the web standards and make all our lives easier, at least that’s what Microsoft are threatening!!

However, there are a couple of good resources to be found about how to do this for IE 5+:

Hope this helps.

The power of CSS is amazing. I’ve seen a few sites like this one where i’ve been blown away by what you can do. Alot of DHTML and other funkiness can be avoided if your clever with your stylesheet.

I want to manage a stick up footer on the website for IE 5.0 +. with CSS As you can see 1 on bmw.co.uk

thanks
