safari..

What problems are there in using position: fixed; with left: %; and
right: %; to do pages that look like a typical boring framed site.  A

I have a complex document that goes several heading levels deep, and
it's unreadable with all the headings and paragraphs against the left

Is there a way to make windows tooltips stay up longer than the default
5 seconds using CSS in a web page? I'd prefer to have it stay visible
