If I do that this is heading , and maintable overlap in firefox.but in ie they come below each other???
why? I would like it to overlap in ie as well.

If I SCROLL in firefox, the maintable overlaps with the other table as well when table 2 becomes at position 20 px on scroll.
In ie's case, on scroll the maintable disappears and doesnt stay fixed in position 20 px.

help?

Maybe it helps if you put them the other way around?

Change position from fixed to absolute.

S position:fixed.. style doesn't work in IE browser. do you know how to fix the object in ie browser.

Create a new web page with the code below.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.maintable
{
[B]position:absolute;[/B]
top:20px;
}
body { height: 1000px; }
</style>
</head>

<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<table class="maintable">
<tr>
<td>00001</td>
<td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td><td>00001</td>

Use 'z-index'. Determine which layer is front and which is bottom.
