A couple of days ago we posted some early thoughts on our forthcoming new advertising policies.
In that item, we have some detail on how we were going to approach the placement of ads, and how that factored into the question of advertising rates.
Problem is, this scheme depends upon a bit of CSS -- "position: fixed" -- which enables certain bits of the page's design to remain fixed in place within the browser window even as the reader scrolls down the page. Why is that a problem?
Because the wunderkind of Microsoft continue to refuse to code Internet Explorer to adhere to Web standards, including the "position: fixed" required to make this work.
And because the most popular browser doesn't support this (and other) Web standards, we therefore have to abandon the above advertising placement scheme.
