positioning dropdown/overlap content

[dreli]

1) Script Title: overlapcontent probelm

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...lapcontent.htm

3) Describe problem: i would like to adjust the position of the dropped down
div to a certain point on the screen. since switching between the "right" ,"bottom" and "bottomright" is not specific enough i tried changing the script
that's incharge of the position at the head section but nothing happens.
can someone help?

thanks

1.Comment the overlay() in the original script.

2. put the following function in place of overlay()

function overlay(curobj, subobjstr, left, top){
	if (document.getElementById){
		var subobj=document.getElementById(subobjstr)
		subobj.style.display=(subobj.style.display!="block")? "block" : "none"

		subobj.style.top = top 
		subobj.style.left = left

		return false
	}
else
	return true
}

3. Change the existing overlay() function calls like the following

<b><a href="search.htm" onClick="return overlay(this, 'subcontent',5,50)">Search DD</a></b><br />

<p style="padding-left: 800px"><b><a href="search.htm" onClick="return overlay(this, 'subcontent2', 0, 80)">Show Content</a></b><br />

4. I've modified the code based on the original script.

Hi thanks Code Exploiter, but i can't get the positioning to work
after changing the function and adding values to the call, the div gets stuck
to a certain point on the screen and changing the values does not influence its position.

appriciate yr help
