Editing a Dynamic-Fx Slide-In Menu
Hey all,
I downloaded this DHTML script for a Dynamic-Fx Slide-In Menu from http://www.dynamicdrive.com and i'm facing some trouble.
The menu suits my needs perfectly with only 1 problem. I want to position the menu in a fixed location on my website somewhere other than the edge of the screen, so i adjust the xy coordinates in the ssmItems.js file to do so...the problem is that the menu changes location depending on whether the window is maximized or not and on the resolution of the monitor. I want it to stay in 1 place ALWAYS! How? PLEASE HELP!
there are two .js files associated with this scrip, ssmItems.js & ssm.js and a bit of html in the <head> section of the file into which the menu is placed. Please find all 3 below:
HTML code in <head> section:
<STYLE>
<!--
A.ssmItems:link {color:black;text-decoration:none;}
A.ssmItems:hover {color:black;text-decoration:none;}
A.ssmItems:active {color:black;text-decoration:none;}
A.ssmItems:visited {color:black;text-decoration:none;}
//-->
</STYLE>
<SCRIPT SRC="ssm.js" language="JavaScript1.2">
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT SRC="ssmItems.js" language="JavaScript1.2"></SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript">
Code from ssmItems.js file
