Fixed position element that... moves?

Just found the link with a visible element with position:fixed behaves kinda strange:

http://www.steadyhealth.com/Do_you_need_to_use_a_back_up_method_for_the_first_week_of_every_month_while_on_birth_control__t267326.html

The element is div with id equals to centerMessages. It appears to be green, visible and ... moving. How come that a fixed element is moving as the page is scrolled? Or, in other words, which part of the spec I need to re-read/re-learn please?

The div does not move when you scroll. It contains no content, so you can't see it.

Fixed position just means that the element doesn't move relative to the scroll position of the page; it can still be given a position relative to the browser window. You can change this position using CSS and Javascript.
