Hey there andy_DT. Do you still need help with this? If so, do you mind if I ask for a little clarification? Do you mean, you want to know how to move the pop up so it pops up ABOVE the link, instead of below? I might be able to help if this is what you're trying to figure out.

yeah i still need help yeah thats what i want what u just said can u help??? thanks

OK, I'm chugging away on this. I'm trying to figure it out - if I get it, I'll let you know.

UPDATE: I'm not sure how your page layout works, and this is a bit of a cheat. . .but if you trap it down at the bottom of the page, the boxes will display on top automatically. I'm still looking into how to just MAKE it do that anyway though. I'll keep you updated.

Replace:

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
}

with (remove all red parts from above including the trailing }):

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

Cool! I almost had it. At least I was monkeying in the right area.

Either something in your layout is messing with it or, there isn't enough room for the entire drop down to appear above its trigger in the window.
