position fixed in IE6 in standards mode
I'm doing a footer that remains fixed at the bottom of the page while the user scrolls down (similar to the one that Sitepoint uses to promote a book in their home page).
I have no problem with Firefox and IE7, as both support position:fixed.
But as IE6 does not support it, I'm looking for a solution in standards mode (all the ones I've found are for quirks mode, I don't know if it's possible in standards mode, I wouldn't like to add something before the document type to force quirks mode).
My stats says that 60% of my visitors still use IE6, so I need to do this.
Is this possible?
Thank you

HI,
yes I solved this for standards mode some time ago but you should be aware that fixed positioning usually presents other difficulties later on.

Sorry for not being clear, my question was if someone knows a technique or spage or example, I did not put code because my layout is just as simple as 3 divs floated left
For example, I found this:

And exactly I'd like to know if this is possible in standards mode in IE6:

Thanks

What kind of difficulties can I find later?
As Ben already mentioned it would help if we had a page to work with then we could see which method fits best.
It probably best if you take the code I gave above and play around with it first and try out the sort of things you want to happen before you build the detail into it. In that way you'll soon find out what works and what doesn't.
