Ok, I am pretty knowledgeable in CSS but this DHTML menu is kicking my butt. I am hoping a different perspective may help. Here is the link: http://www.rivertime.net/clients/comal/menu.htm the menu is set in a span id but still doesn't like up properly it should be right under the Products heading. Any help is appreciated. Kim

Hiya
Think maybe you've forgotten the span?
here:
...
</script>
<noscript>Your browser does not support script</noscript>
<span id="menu"> </span>
<!-- REST OF BODY CONTENT BELOW HERE -->
...
Like where i've used it on this page:
http://www.summerset.co.nz/web/flatbush … ge=village
right click - view source to see the code
Have fun

Fe, I have the span
<td colspan="2"><span id="menu"></span></td>
right in the table where I'd like it to be... Just like you have yours... It's just the placing... I guess I can find another way to do this. Thanks though! Kim "...I am the master of my fate:

Kim,
Can't find the post I put in for some reason, but I did this to your page, but all in HTML I'm afraid!!

I resolved it in my own way.........I also suggested that you change the width of your vertical menu very slightly to make allowances for the difference in width underneath the products

Kim,
This only works in Internet Explorer though.
Change 2 lines in your code
1. change your doc type to this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
In your menu Javascript change this line to this,
(please note the offset is negative -275)
var StartTop=-275; // Menu offset x coordinate
(in Firefox the offset is -219)
Just curious, but where did you get this jscript or what did you use to create it?

Quite right, though for some reason it works in Opera also.

Depends on your version of Opera.
I am using v8.53 and it doesn't work in that one.
Opera 9 (beta) just passed the "acid test" for browsers, meaning that it will be the most compliant on standards of any browser when it is released.
It makes it difficult to write web pages when the users browsers are not compliant and you have to rely on hacks and quirks mode just so the user can see your pages at all!!
I have to test clients webpages in:
IE5, IE5.5, IE6, IE7, Firefox 1.0, 1.5, 1.7, Opera 6,7,&8 and on Mac browsers like Safari and Linux browsers like Konquerer. It makes for a real challenge to make sure it looks good in all these browsers.
It all depends on how standards compliant your browser is.
By changing the doc type it puts IE into "quirks mode" and allows the menu to be adjusted.
Oh well, one day when all browsers are compliant.....
I can dream can't I ???

Mike,
Just out of curiosity, how do you maintain multiple versions of IE and Firefox (and Opera)? Do you have multiple machines? Or is it possible to upgrade the various IE's without having the upgrades write over the old ones?

Mike, thanks for taking the time. The script was created with ther version of CC DHTML menu builder. I used your variable and it worked perfect. When I tried earlier it only pushed it farther down but I did not use a negative value. I am only in the preliminary stages of this site so I will worry about how it looks in Firefox later I suppose. Thanks again everyone for the help, I am always glad to return it when I can. Thanks Kim
