Anyone know the difference between absolute and fixed positioning?

'Fixed' is positioned relative to browser window 'Absolute' is positioned relative to first parent element. HTML may be the first parent if there are none.

'Absolute' is posioned relative to the next parent element WITH relative or absolute positioning. If no such parent exists, it will go all the way up to <html> as Simon wrote. Important: elements with absolute positioning are removed from the page flow.
