Firstly a huge thanks to all you kind and clever people who make this forum work. I have found so many solutions already but I am stumped with this one issue. What code do I need to change to make my DHTML menu have a relative (as opposed to absolute) position. i.e. currently menu moves around when I change the size of my browser window. I have seen some related posts to this question but the code appears quite different to what I have generated. I've attached a text file with the code generated in the free DHTML menu builder. FYI I have also been using VSD and HTML editor. Thanks again, you lot rock! Morgan.

Hiya Morgan,
I'm not sure how you do this with the CC DHTML Menu maker, but with the menu maker I use, it uses an anchor tag. I'll assume there must be something in CC's program that allows you to do this, but I've never used it so I'm not fully 100% sure on it. If someone doesn't answer this by tomorrow I'll fire it up and see what it's like on that point and see if I can help there. I'm going to assume someone will already know this answer though

Morgan,
A link your your site using the DHTML menu would be helpful.
You can enclose the DHTML menu code inside a span tag with id="themenu" and then manually change the code to the menu at:
var TargetLoc=''; // span id for relative positioning
and make it read:
var TargetLoc='themenu'; // span id for relative positioning
Hope that helps.

Hi Bill (and Jo Ann)
Thanks for that. I have seen previous posts regarding inserting the menu as a span but was still having problems. I have since now discovered that I had set the Horizontal Alignment option (in the options tab of DHTML) to 'center' instead of 'left'. Regenerating the code with this setting and adding the <span> has fixed the problem. Thanks again! FYI my site is www.bivowacky.com. Blessings..

Hi Bill, I have design my church website completely using VSD. I don’t know anything about HTML. I am having trouble understanding what part of the code html needs to be modified and I am completely stumped where to add the span tag you referenced.
I found this line from a test menu I was building
var TargetLoc='themenu'; // span id for relative positioning
Is this exactly how the code should look?
I am attaching the code from the dhtml program, would you mind showing me what I need to change and where the span tag should go?
Thanks for all your help.
