Using version 2.1.

I want the menu to appear below my image header on the page. So I've set variable StartTop to 213 (from the default 0). Works fine - except that the submenus expand UP instead of drop down.

I've tried amending other promisingly-named variables, but can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Richard,

You can try a different DAT file for the DHTML menu builder. The self extracting zip file has a replacement DAT file and a readme file that explains how to make the change.

Richard,

What program are you using to create your web page?

Can you provide a link to the site?

I've tried the new DAT file - same problem. I've uploaded 2 test pages:

http://www.richardlawton.net/test.html

This is completely empty apart from the menu - and the submenus go to absolute top 0px.

This has an image, and the submenus expand up from the main menu.

In both cases I've made the following script change only:

var StartTop=213; // Menu offset x coordinate

BTW - I just use a text editor for coding. Problem occurs on both IE7 and Firefox 3.0

I've identified the problem. Not sure if it's a bug, a feature or just how things are...

If there is apparently nothing below the menu, then the submenus expand UP. If I add a load of line breaks to test.html (above) then it works fine.

In my actual code I was working on, the menu script was followed by an absolutely positioned div and nothing else. So the script reckons there's nothing there. If I add a load of line breaks, the menu drops down ok.

Sometimes I hate computers.

Richard,

Interesting that adding content below the menu would fix that. I have never had that issue.

I am waiting for the computer that understands what I want and does it. I expect to be waiting for that computer when I die.
