Idle Hacking

After many hours of searching and hacking I finally found this document explaining how to avoid a flickering position:fixed in IE. Most documents will simply say you need:

#dashboard{
position:fixed !important;
position:expression('absolute');
top:0px !important;
top:expression('body.scrollTop');
}

This is leaving out one important part. The solution that seems to work is to add a background fixed to the body tag

body{
background:url(foo) fixed;
}
