Works now, in IE 7 in "standards" mode.

Older versions are still rather common, so I would use position: fixed only
when the page degrades gracefully when position: fixed is ignored. There's
no simple workaround really, since old versions of IE are foolish enough to
_recognize_ the value fixed but _implement_ it as if it were static, so you
can't just use { position: absolute; position: fixed; ... } - you would get
a "static" (i.e., non-positioned) element on old versions of IE.
