Positioning within a table cell


Poster: chiage

I am using a 4 level DHTML menu on this page: http://www.westernshastarcd.org/Watersheds.htm
Users have reported that the main menu overlaps the text in the middle column. (It looks fine on my screen) I have tried my best to set the X and Y coordinates to keep the main menu way over to the right side of the page, but it has not helped. I have also tried the "Bound Menu to a Table Cell" - http://www.milonic.com/menu/menusample.php?sampleid=21
and cannot get that to work either. Does anyone know of a way to bind the menu to the cell so that it absolutely will not overlap the text in the adjacent column?

Will really appreciate your help with this problem!

Hi Chiage,

I see you've come up with a solution, but it probably wasn't what you originally had in mind. You could try setting the 6th element (the "Screen Position") in the menu array to "right" to force it to right justify in the window. If you want to nudge it slightly away from the right margin, then set the 3rd element ("Menu Left") to "offset=-10" or however many pixels you want to adjust to the left. The menu should then retain its position relative to the right margin, adjusting itself as the user resizes the page.

Hope that helps,

Kevin
