monkeytooth Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Alright plain and simple I have three DIV.. And I am using CSS to position, size, etc them.. What I want to know is A is this possible, and be, how? What I am tempting to do, but am finding alot of cross browser issues is.. What I am wanting to do is make a fixed header and a fixed footer using DIV tags then layer them so they are on top of a 3rd DIV which will act as the content area, so this way the header and footer dont move at all when the page is scrolled but the content area does. Now back to the question at hand is it possible? And if so how, cause I am being told that So much as IE five and 6 may have issues with the "Fixed" element for the DIV. another issue i have with this is the body itself is fixed to roughly 725px wide, so its not a fluid layout as far as stretching it side to side, over all I just want to be able to use the browsers main scroll bar for the up and down, I know I can do this with frames or even an IFrame.. but im trying to avoid frames if possible.. Any takers to help a newb at CSS? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113424-fotter-header-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Like this. For browser compatibility stick with IE6/7, FF2/3 Safari and Opera. More here. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113424-fotter-header-issue/#findComment-582904 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 The more browsers you support, the more you're limiting yourself really. As I said before stick with IE6/7, FF2+, Safari and Opera. If you want to support older outdated browsers use a non-css design, such as frames. For more modern browsers use CSS.

haku Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Drop anything below IE 5. The numbers of people using it are almost none these days. IE6 hopefully will be soon to follow!

TheFilmGod Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Agreed. Although I have stopped supporting IE6 for a various reasons - IE7 is extremely similar (if you know how to semi-properly code css/html) and IE6 is total crap anyway. If users browse w/ crap, they will get crap. ha ha Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113424-fotter-header-issue/#findComment-584142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
