Hello TekTips Pros!
I wrote a site for an intranet that is IE only and it works beautifully. Now I have been asked to convert it for the web and I need to make it cross-browser compliant. I know...I know...I should have just done it that way from the start but the end users were on IE6 and I just coded everything to work for it.
So now I am starting from scratch with a proof of concept. Here it is:
Requirements: Table data needs to be scrollable horizontally and vertically. Help tab needs to always stay in the top right corner. This needs to work even when window is resized.
This proof seems to work fine (so far, it is only in the baby stages) in IE7, Firefox 2 and Firefox 3. But in IE6 the tab does not stay in the corner when scrolling. The tab seems to be attached to the data table and just scrolls with it.
I am pretty new to CSS layout and writing to W3C (as I am sure some of you will be able to tell by looking at my code), but I am trying to learn. Any help you can give on how to make this work in IE6 will be appreciated.
Thanks!

PS - there will eventually be more tabs below the help as well as tabs on the left side. Hopefully this is possible to add once we get the basic idea down for this help tab?
