How to Freeze Pane/Fix Website Header and Horizontal Nav Bar



I currently have a banner/header as well as a horizontal navigation menu below this header that I would like to freeze pane/fix, so that any content below this header/nav just scrolls beneath it, always.





FYI, need it to work in IE8.





I have setup the following skeleton structure of this as follows:







<div id="banner-nav">

<div id="banner">

<div id="nav">

</div>

</div>

</div>



<div id="content">

</div>







Would appreciate your help on this. If it cannot be done on the above fashion, any other alternatives that would accomplish my requirement, would be great.





Thanks.

  2. You need to apply fixed positioning to your banner-nav element:

    #banner-nav {
    position:fixed;
    width:100%;
    }


    To get this to work in IE7+, you need a doctype that makes the browser render in "standards mode". The HTML5 doctype should do this:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
