Because IE 6 does not support fixed positioning. Simple as that. _Often_
mentioned in this group.

Do you really want to make IE 6 work even buggier than usual, i.e. trigger
Quirks Mode?

An understandable mistake, but you are really saying here that the language
of the page is the variant of English used in the nonexistent country with
country code UK. Reference:

(Luckily almost all software ignores lang attributes, partly because their
content is so often bogus.)

Frames are evil. Imitations of frames are evil _and_ quite often fail to

IE6 simply does not understand position: fixed. Google for the many
workarounds for this, many of them involving javascript.
