ISTR that IE doesn't just treat position:fixed as position:absolute but
instead mishandles it rather badly. What's working for me is to add this
to my HTML:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie.css">
<![endif]-->

And then in ie.css I add rules to override position:fixed with this:
position: absolute ! important;

See my sig for a live example.

I think I've read that IE7 supports position:fixed but I have not tested
it myself.


Cheers
