Help with Div Overlay (kind of like lightbox)

I am having a problem in firefox and safari where the overlay gets created, but if you scroll down, the overlay has only covered the visible screen. So in other words the overlay div stops halfway down the page. However in IE it covers up the entire page no matter how much scrolling is required. Here is my code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>newCourse</title>
<script src="swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#bgholder {
background:url("images/bg.jpg") repeat-x;
}

.fader {
display:none;
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #000;
z-index: 1001;
-moz-opacity: 0.8;
opacity: .80;
filter: alpha(opacity=80);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="bgholder">
  <div id="black" class="fader" onClick="document.getElementById('black').style.display='none';"></div>
    <div align="center" id="player">
      <script type="text/javascript">
        // <![CDATA[
        var so = new SWFObject("newCourse.swf", "vforum", "900", "370", "9", "#ffffff");
        so.addParam("allowfullscreen", "true");
        so.write("player");
        // ]]>
      </script>
    </div>
  <a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="document.getElementById('black').style.display='block';">asd</a>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

Try giving the overlay div position:fixed

 

It should solve your problem, though it may create others. But there is no way to know without trying.

 

note: you may have to add and remove position:fixed with javascript, or it will cause other problems.
