I have been posting for years here but been busy lately...but I am not
going to follow Jukka and get into a pissing contest.

dorayme,

I thought you had posted something before that would
do the job? The bookmark I _thought_ referred to the example
was http://dorayme.890m.com/alt/pseudoFrames.html, but this
no longer appears to be valid. Do you still have your
pseudoFrames.html somewhere? (Chances are it's not what I
thought it was but, if I bookmarked it, there must have been
a good reason!)

Interesting! Well I suppose it may be a perspective issue.

:root table.static tbody {…}

By comparison, CSS hacks like this are definitely going to do something
unintended once the corresponding selector is supported by an
implementation, regardless whether the feature declared with it is going to
be supported. They completely fail to address the issue.

I recall that not being about tables... That "free server" went
downhill when I forgot to operate on it for a while ... but the
page seems to be at

<http://dorayme.netweaver.com.au/alt/pseudoFrames.html>

and perhaps renamed from

<http://dorayme.netweaver.com.au/alt/positionFixed.html>

which latter has siblings:

<http://dorayme.netweaver.com.au/alt/positionFixed2.html>
<http://dorayme.netweaver.com.au/alt/positionFixed3.html>

(
Wonder why OP or the two guys engaged in the pissing competition
in this thread don't instead talk about the link I gave before
<http://www.imaputz.com/cssStuff/bigFourVersion.html> Doesn't
anyone want to talk to me any more? Is it too many jokes, too
many Jewish jokes?

Did I mention that I invented a joke the other day? It came in
blinding insight when I was making breakfast:

"Last night I held a party that was so wild, I called the police
myself"
)
