yeah i still need help yeah thats what i want what u just said can u help??? thanks :D

OK, I'm chugging away on this. I'm trying to figure it out - if I get it, I'll let you know.

UPDATE: I'm not sure how your page layout works, and this is a bit of a cheat. . .but if you trap it down at the bottom of the page, the boxes will display on top automatically. I'm still looking into how to just MAKE it do that anyway though. I'll keep you updated. :)

thanks very much man :D

Replace:

Code:

---

if (windowedge-dropmenuobj.y < dropmenuobj.contentmeasure){ //move up?
edgeoffset=dropmenuobj.contentmeasure+obj.offsetHeight
if ((dropmenuobj.y-topedge)<dropmenuobj.contentmeasure) //up no good either?
edgeoffset=dropmenuobj.y+obj.offsetHeight-topedge
}

---

with (remove all red parts from above including the trailing }):

Code:

---

edgeoffset=dropmenuobj.contentmeasure+obj.offsetHeight
if ((dropmenuobj.y-topedge)<dropmenuobj.contentmeasure) //up no good either?
edgeoffset=dropmenuobj.y+obj.offsetHeight-topedge

Either something in your layout is messing with it or, there isn't enough room for the entire drop down to appear above its trigger in the window.

here is a link to the site u will see what i mean when u click it

www.dirttag.com/college/index22.html

you may see what i mean now

Unless you've changed something else in the script, it is your layout. Try it on a blank page with just the menu.

ok ill try that then i might refresh the script ie put a new one in, cheers

Thanks very much guys its work a treat. :D
