I am working on a new design for my website.

My problem is that my design, relying on CSS, works 100% in mozilla, but
has som quirks in Opera, and even more quirks in Internet Explorer.

Have a look at http://www.genbukan.no/nytt_design/

I would appreciate feedback on how to get this design to work in all
of the browsers, maybe there is missing something in my CSS ?

It's not something you're missing - it's IE that's missing position:
fixed, you probably want to give it a position:absolute to chew on
instead.

Thanks a lot for your swift reply. Setting position:absolute, fixed all the
problems I was experiencing in both Opera and IE. Even though I would like
to have the left and right frames to stay fixed alle the time in all
browsers.....

Q: What does a peroxide blonde and a 747 have in common?
A1: They both have a black box.
A2: Both have a cockpit.

What you can do is something like the following:


div.cornerpiece {
position: absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;

}

body>div.cornerpiece
{
position: fixed;
}


IE doesn't understand body>div.cornerpiece which is perfectly
understood by mozilla and friends, so you get the best of both
worlds.

would that mean that I could just add:

body>#left, body>#right{
position:fixed;
}

To the CSS file I already have, or is this wrong syntax ?

This works just as it is supposed to when it comes to Mozilla vs. Internet
Explorer.

Only problem is Opera. Opera understands the body> schema, but it has some
strange way of interpreting the position:fixed;

If you have Opera running have a look at
http://www.genbukan.no/nytt_design/

Seems like the upper/lower corner on left and right side is position:fixed
if you only scroll x pixles, but if you scroll more than that they start
moving!

Sounds distinctly like a bug. I'm using opera 6.12 here on Linux/X11
with no problems like that.

Not related to the question, but just as a matter of interest, why are you
using PNG files? I would have though that jpgs would have been much better.

No special reason actually. I was just of the impression that png was the
image format usually recommended for web-presentations....

PNG is good for images with large areas of flat colour, which it
compresses very well, and images that have to be *exact* regardless of
eventual file size.

JPG is good for getting high levels of (slightly lossy) compression on
photographs and similarly complex images.

GIF is good for being an alternative to PNG for older browsers (if you
have content negotiation) and also can give smaller file size than PNG
for small images of <= 16 colours.
