Making changes to Drop Down Tabs menu system

[nickgray]

1) Script Title: Drop Down Tabs

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/droptabmenu.htm

3) Describe problem: I installed this menu several years ago on several sites. One client tells me that now on some of their machines the drop-downs drop UP when screen res is a bit low and not enough page displays for the full length of a dropdown with a lot of menu items.

I realise that this is a problem with old machines, but is there a tweak that can be made to either the javascript or the css to force the long dropdowns to drop down? I like using this straightforward menu system and I want to avoid several hours of time replacing it on that site if the code can be tweaked.

Thanks,

Sure, just commenting out the below portion inside the .js file should do it (addition in red):

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