menu hiding page contents

Hi, I have my menu on the LHS column of my page and want to place HTML content and images below where the menu ends.

The problem is that the main menu,always being visible, hides content "behind" it, see http://www.solomon.ie/test/

To overcome this problem in the past I placed a transparent GIF in the table cell where my menu goes,with a height equal to the that of the menu. Then any additional content I place after the GIF can be seen. Problem with this is thet my clients can add new pages to the main menu pushing it further down - when it reaches past the end my my transparent GIF it starts hiding the content.

I read the docs but dont see any obvious solution but I cant be the first person with this problem!

Thanks,
Kevin

If I get this right, I take it you want the menu to sit on the page and expand taking the other content into account.

If so, you'll need to set the position of the main menu to relative and then position it inside the container where the content is.

The sample at http://www.milonic.com/menusample9.php should help explain how to do this.

Hope this helps,
Andy
