Your IE6 workaround is a CSS expression, which I would recommend
against (use a real script instead.) IE7 doesn't need a workaround
unless your page is in quirks mode.

IBTD. A "real script" could never be as responsive.

IE7 doesn't need a workaround unless your page is in quirks mode.

Correct in this case. Therefore, this workaround needs to be marked
IE < 7 only:

Click of "Show" and then scroll up and down to see what I mean. It is
supposed to stay in the same place in the window.

Maybe ie7's position:fixed; needs to be fixed (-yuk yuk yuk).

Btw, what's:

* html .exclude_form_c lass {position:absol ute;}

....for?

We got the coding from somewhere online.

Goodness! No wonder.

Any help will be appreciated. (I am actually much more of a back-end,
php, programmer than html or javascript).

Hey, you have something in common with Gus Richter although he's a rump
ranger of a different ilk.

Hey, I think I found it. Your ie comment is in the middle of the style
section. Move it outside the existing styles section and create a 2nd style
section within the comment. (There may be more, but that's one thing wrong.)

I created a second style section and put it inside the comment. It
worked, but it is ignoring the left: 200px.

Well, I fixed this by putting a left: 200px; in the class definition.
However, though this now works for IE7, it no longer works for IE66. In
IE6 we completely lose the scroll bars.

Got it! I moved the <stylebracketin g outside the commenting and now
both IE6 and IE7 work. Thank you everyone.

But a real script would not be evaluated every time you move the
mouse. CSS expressions are bad news. Do not use them.
