Can Image Map open popUp at FIXED position??

Is it possible to make an image map popUp menus at a fixed position?

Each browser seems to be slightly different in this regard.

IE6/Firefox/Netscape - popUp position is relative to the cursor
Opera7.23 - Opens exactly where the menu is defined in top and left properties

Mouseover "Respond to Cooperation" (either the text link or on the image map) and the pop up will appear in the lower right hand corner, but way way down...

Can I get the popup to follow the absolute top and left coordinates set in the menu_data.js file?

Hi,

I think there are a couple of issues:

(1) You're loading your menu code inside of a div, which could affect positioning differently across browsers. I'd suggest loading them in the <head>

(2) popup() takes a variable number of parameters, as described here. Your call to popup()

Code:

popup('popUpRTC','popRTC')

is telling the menu system to open the named menu at the location of the object named/ID'd as 'popRTC', but the menu also has a top and left position set. If you want the top and left positions set in the menu to take precedence, then only pass the menu name to popup(), like so:

Code:

popup('popUpRTC')

Hope that helps,

Kevin

Yes, of course! Does the popup function() take more than 4 arguments?
Thanks!
