document.body.scrollTop in IE

It seems that document.body.scrollTop does not work in IE6 if the document's doctype is defined as

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

To find out the scrolling offset in a way that works for both DTD3 and DTD4.01 you can use

(document.documentElement.scrollTop?document.documentElement.scrollTop:document.body.scrollTop)

Same goes for scrollLeft.
