All styles starting with '*' are read by IE only. No compromise should be neccessary. @media screen { /* ... all your styles here ... */ #table-of-contents { position:fixed; width:198px; } * html { overflow-y: hidden; } * html body { overflow-y: auto; height: 100%; padding: 0 0 0 0; font-size: 100%; } * html div#table-of-contents { position: absolute; } } Regards, Sebastian Manish writes: > Hello Carsten, > > The image at http://imagebin.org/35260 shows the Orgmode homepage in > IE6 and http://imagebin.org/35261 shows the the same page in FF3.
