Browser, not engine ---> DOM Style.
The key function is in view-source:http://www.k-hardware.de/hwlex.js.php


function showhwlex(hwid, fest) {
  if(Netscape) {
    if(NetscapeVersion>=5) {
      flashOffset=0;
	
               etc.

    if((window.pageYOffset)<350)
      flashOffset = 350 - window.pageYOffset;

  fensterTop = window.pageYOffset + 10 + flashOffset; 
  document.getElementById("HWFENSTER"+hwid).style.top = fensterTop;



By contrast, the site's code for IE does this:

  diehoehe = document.body.scrollTop + 10;
  if(diehoehe<115)
    diehoehe=115;
  document.all("HWFENSTER"+hwid).style.top = diehoehe; 
  fensterTop = diehohe;



Now, both window.pageYOffset and document.body.scrollTop vary
as the user scrolls down the page. The way they've coded this
for Mozilla, window.pageYOffset cancels itself out until 350:

          window.pageYOffset         fensterTop
                  0                     360
                 100                    360
                 200                    360
                 300                    360
                 350                    360
                 360                    370
                 400                    410


whereas in IE things change when document.body.scrollTop = 105:

        document.body.scrollTop      fensterTop
                  0                     115
                 100                    115
                 150                    160
                 200                    210
                 300                    310
                 350                    360
                 360                    370
                 400                    410


I believe it's all working just the way they've coded it...

Similar problem with  http://www.cimbali.com/en/
Click on "for the wide product choice" and then move the pointer over one of 
the machine categories. IE handles this well, but with Firebird the pop-up 
list goes to the top of the screen and is inaccessible.
