jQuery-based Position Fixed Feature Test

support-posfixed.js

/* jQuery-based feature test for CSS position: fixed support.
Modified from Kangax's test (http://kangax.github.com/cft/#IS_POSITION_FIXED_SUPPORTED) in two ways: 1) uses jQuery API, 2) remove document.body dependency.
Method changes aside, the required workaround for dropping document.body use was to set scroll using window.scrollTo instead of body.scrollTop.

//Testing notes:
iOS4.3: false (expected)
iOS5: true (expected)
Chrome latest: true  (expected)
...more soon
