    Hello all,

    This is my first post so please bear with me if it seems a little vague.

    I have a site with a left navigation sidebar in the fixed position and my content resides to the right of it. I have the nav buttons in the sidebar scroll the page using the ‘scrollTo’ plug-in and everything works cool in almost everything but IE6.

    In IE6, when a nav button is clicked, the page scrolls to the intended content, however, once I am no longer hovering over the nav button, my sidebar disappears completely. I have checked almost everything and can’t seem to find a solution.

    You can check out the live version here: http://www.christiantate.net

    I am currently testing in FF 3.0.15, which works fine, and IE6, which causes the problem.
    Any feedback would be much appreciated.

    Might be an issue with the float:left on your sidebar. You could remove that and see if it helps (it would be easier if there were a firebug for ie6).

    Or, since you’re using absolute positioning, you could specify a top value ("top:100px") which might fix your sidebar.
