I am working on a website for our wedding here: http://umwplacement.com/mikeandreg.php

I can't get the center content pane to scroll in IE. Instead the entire page scrolls. I want the header, left navigation bar, and footer to always stay at the same place on the screen. In firefox, it works perfectly.

CSS:
body {
margin:0;
border:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
max-height:100%;
background:#FFFFFF url('champ_bg.gif') repeat-y;
overflow:hidden;
font-family:arial, verdana, sans-serif;
}

#header {
height:70px;
background-color:#4b0001;
text-align:center;
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
overflow:auto;
}

#navigation {
position:fixed;
float:left;
overflow:hidden;
top:70px;
left:0px;
bottom:40px;
width:178px;
padding:0px;
}
#navigation li {list-style-image:url(images/arrow.png); margin:5px 0px 0px 35px; font-size:20px;}

#center {
position:fixed;
top:70px;
bottom:40px;
left:180px;
right:0px;
padding:5px 0px 0px 5px;
width:auto;
overflow:auto;
color:#4b0001;
}

#center p {
text-indent: 20px;
/*margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px; */
}

h2 {
text-align:center;
}

#footer {
position:absolute;

    Stuczynskis and me

    This is me taking the Stuczynskis out to eat to ask for Regina's hand in marriage. They said "yes", after laughing at me. :)

    Regina and I in Spain

    I flew to Toulouse, France to surprise Regina while she was over there studying in Vallodolid, Spain. :)

    Regina and I saying goodbye in Spain

    This was the last time I saw Regina in Spain. We sat at the bus stop and ate a tortilla Espanol. It was one of the saddest times I can remember.

    That's because IE6 has

    That's because IE6 has patchy support for position: fixed. This looks close to what you're after: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/body4.html

    Thank you for not just

    Thank you for not just giving me a quick and easy answer like I was originally hoping for. I was able to look at the site you gave me and compare mine and learn some things as I worked to fix mine. Had you given me the quick answer I wanted, I know I wouldn't have learned much. It's working now, but there a couple other problems. But I will start a new thread for those.
    Thank you!
    Mike
