Drop down/ Overlapping Content script help me please

[Dazza30]

Hello all
1) Drop down/ Overlapping Content script

2) http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...lapcontent.htm

3) This script is great but the problem im having is i need to have more than one of the dropdown boxes on a page.
Currently when i try to do this the content from the 1st box takes over anyothers i and also resizes the box.

Any assistance would be great.

You've obviously missed something from the demo page as, there are two on it. Either go back over the instructions or, give us a link to your problem page if you want more help.

There only appear to be two drop contents in your post, and their drop content is the same. You have only initialized one of them -

Replace:

<script type="text/javascript">
//Call dropdowncontent.init(anchorID, positionString, glideduration) at the end of the page:

dropdowncontent.init("searchlink", "right-bottom", 500)
dropdowncontent.init("contentlink", "left-top", 1000)

</script>

with:

<script type="text/javascript">
//Call dropdowncontent.init(anchorID, positionString, glideduration) at the end of the page:

dropdowncontent.init("searchlink", "right-bottom", 500)
dropdowncontent.init("searchlink2", "left-top", 1000)

</script>

Even after fixing that, you will see that the second one is mostly off screen. But that's where you've told the script to put it:

dropdowncontent.init("searchlink", "right-bottom", 500)
dropdowncontent.init("searchlink2", "left-top", 1000)
