<h2>Caveats</h2>
<p>This is a potentially harmful usage scenario for fixed content.</p>
<ul>
<li>the height of the bottom bar is dependant on the unknown ratio between its content’s length and the viewport width</li>
<li>the browser’s back button does generally not work after jumping to a page anchor in an overflowing box; for IE/Windows this also affects the content area</li>
</ul>
