IE 6 “position: relative” fix

August 22nd, 2008   Filed Under CSS, Good to know, Technology, Tips & Tricks, browser  

I got a big-time fix for IE6 bug which doesn’t behave properly for the position: relative elements.

Problem:
When you give some position:relative style to any element in the page and resize the browser, it behaves as if that element had a position: fixed assigned.

The Fix:
Simply add position: relative to your body tag and make that your habit to have it in the first place whenever you start a new css sheet.

Hope that helps people getting frustrated with this problem.

Enjoy Madi !!

A very desi mash-up has taken place and somehow I have become unaddicted from my gmail. Its not that I am boasting for http://www.in.com

Let us see the features there. You get all of the following in one site:

  1. Read Current Affairs, Entertainment, Sports, Science & Tech,Business
  2. Listen to online music(most of your desi stuff… regional too :) )
  3. Watch videos mashed up from different sources(kinda great)
  4. Play games .. (this is exiting)
  5. Find flights, hotels, matrimonial etc
  6. And last but not least an email system with kinda better interface than gmail (I liked the inline forwarding, deleting and junking your emails)

The email system I liked the most in my one day of use. Its great looking and great using stuff. Plus it gives an identity to all indians to use a in.com as their email id. Thats coool.

Listen to music online while you hang around with your emails. I have literally put a forwarding rule in my gmail to read all the emails on in.com

What is missed here is a embedded chat and a social networking like orkut. But I believe that the makers of in.com should be working on the same to give a in-country competition to Google!!
