Hi there I was wondering if it was possible to invert the drop down so that on mouse over the menu goes up instead of down thanks

Code:

<a href="default.htm" onClick="return clickreturnvalue()" onmouseout="dropdownmenu(this, event, menu1, '150px')" onmouseover="delayhidemenu()">Web Design</a> |

I think Alex ZG means make the drop down a drop up (above the triggering link). Do you, Alex ZG? It already will do that if the trigger is too close to the bottom of the page (from function clearbrowseredge(obj, whichedge), near that function's end):

Code:

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

Find the above code and change it to (remove all red parts from the above, including the trailing bracket):

Code:

edgeoffset=dropmenuobj.contentmeasure+obj.offsetHeight
if ((dropmenuobj.y-topedge)<dropmenuobj.contentmeasure) //up no good either?
edgeoffset=dropmenuobj.y+obj.offsetHeight-topedge

Hi, new to this site so hope this post isn't in the wrong spot.
New to java too. I've been trying to 'outsource' my website code so I can change things in one place and have it changed on all relevant pages at the same time - like if I add a menu selection. I used the Any Link Drop Down Menu code which works well but not if the menu bar I have for the site is in document.writeln('

If I add the two to the same script it says it "expects )" and if I have them separately it doesn't read it at all.

Not too good at explaining myself, hope that made sense. If it doesn't let me know and I'll try and clarify.

Thanks for reading!
