Anylink Dropdown Menu - Positioning help?

AnyLink Dropdown Menu

Hi! I'm having difficulty positioning the Anylink Dropdown menu near the link it's attached to. I think it might be because of my absolute positioning, but I'm not sure. If anyone can help I would be extremely grateful!!

You can see what I'm talking about here on the SERVICES and THE TEAM links.

Damned annoying since I'd just gotten it to look how I wanted it to!

Thanks for any help (I'm thinking the code/website might need some fairly major changes for it to work?).

PS - Sorry, I looked over the past few pages for an Anylink Dropdown Menu thread, but couldn't find one?

if you take out those absolute positioning then it will work fine.. the script comes with the positioning itself


dropmenuobj.style.left=dropmenuobj.x-clearbrowseredge(obj, "rightedge")+"px"
dropmenuobj.style.top=dropmenuobj.y-clearbrowseredge(obj, "bottomedge")+obj.offsetHeight+"px"

references the function directly above it "clearbrowseredge" function


so take out the positioning parts of that script and leave the cosmetics

Genuis! Thanks for your help! I changed the code:


if (ie4||ns6){
showhide(dropmenuobj.style, e, "visible", "hidden", menuwidth)
dropmenuobj.x=getposOffset(obj, "left")
dropmenuobj.y=getposOffset(obj, "top")
dropmenuobj.style.left=dropmenuobj.x+200+"px"
dropmenuobj.style.top=185+"px"
}

It's not 100% perfect, but it's 100 times better! It'd be great to be able to position each menu individually, but this seems to just about work!
