Chromemenu within absolute or relative positioned div's

1) Script Title: Chromemenu within absolute or relative positioned div's

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

3) Describe problem:
When putting a chromemenu within an absolute ore relative positioned DIV, the prsition calculation did not work properly so that the menu is popped up on a wrong position.

I have made a chang in the positionning function so that the calculation stops when the offset element is absolutely or relatively positioned:

measure: function(el, styleProp) {
	var st;
	if (el.currentStyle)
		st = el.currentStyle[styleProp];
	else if (window.getComputedStyle)
		st = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(el, null).getPropertyValue(styleProp);
	return st;
},

getposOffset:function(what, offsettype){
	var pos;
	var totaloffset=(offsettype=="left")? what.offsetLeft : what.offsetTop;
	var parentEl=what.offsetParent;
	while (parentEl!=null){
		pos=this.measure(parentEl, 'position');
		if (pos=='absolute' || pos=='relative') {
			break;
		}
		totaloffset=(offsettype=="left")? totaloffset+parentEl.offsetLeft : totaloffset+parentEl.offsetTop;
		parentEl=parentEl.offsetParent;
	}
	return totaloffset;
},

This works fine now.
