positioning relative to a graphic

i am having problems positioning the menu on top of a graphic. When the screen is resized, the menu shifts its horizontal position, and it needs to stay fixed.

One solution would be to position the menu centered horizontally on the page. How would you center it horizontally? Or is there a better way to put the menu on top of a graphic?

Looking at it now in XP Pro/IE6, and the menu does not move when the window is resized. Is that not what you want?

i was just editing it a bit. refresh your window now. it should be a horizontal bar.

now i am wondering weither ie6 handles something differently than ie5.6

It is (and was before). Now the graphic moves on resize and the menu still stays in place.

Probably, knowing M$...

ok, its kind of wierd. i was trying to mess with it a lil to see if it would work, and apparently one of the settings I did made it work, but on my browser it did something wierd where the bottom border of the menu would grow by one pixel everytime it was resized.

can you give me the CORRECT code for the browsers to make the menu stay at its top offset, but to be centered?

edit: yes, the graphic WILL move on resize, but thats why the menu needs to be centered because if it is centered, it will always fall on the right place

Typically not what we're after there. target=_new;, target=_top;, etc.

As for positioning, see http://www.milonic.com/menusample.php?sampleid=23. Check the other samples and especially the Quick Reference guides while you're there.
