Default definitive way to emulate frames with CSS ?

We have a database driven site that must use the following layout:

1) Fixed header, 100% screen width, 120px high showing drop-down list
2) Scrolling content area, 100% screen width, * high, showing database rows

It'll look a bit like this (we don't need the fixed footer or resizable header):


As frames are a no-no, I really need a *definitive* way to implement the above with HTML & CSS

The examples I've seen so far use position:fixed which IE6 and below don't support properly. Some people use a "bug" as a workaround, which to me, isn't a clean solution at all.

Has anyone got a better solution with an example ?

done something similair here: Welcome to the first Asia Triennial Manchester 08.

this uses a div and a little bit of code from a third party developer. Dont know if its clean enough though.
