Notes

1. Partial support in older iOS Safari refers to buggy behavior.

2. Only works in Android 2.1 thru 2.3 by using the following meta tag: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no">.

3. Android 4.0-4.3 ignore transforms and margin:auto on position:fixed elements.

4. in Safari 9.1, having a position:fixed-element inside an animated element, may cause the position:fixed-element to not appear.

Bugs

• in iOS Safari 5-7, position:fixed will move to center of window with focus event on child text input field.

• In Android 4.0-4.3 position:fixed inside an iframe will cause unexpected behviour.
