Positioning the Menu

This is probably a simple question, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to position the menu on my page.

This is where I set the menu up:

http://www.flyfreecatholicforums.com/MenuTemplate.html

This is the code

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Flyfree Catholic Forums Template - Version4.0</title>

</head>
<body>
Position Menu Test<BR>
<BR>Position menu Test<BR>

<script type="text/javascript" src="milonic_src.js"></script>
<noscript><a href="https://milonic.com/">Powered by Milonic</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if(ns4)_d.write("<script language=JavaScript src=mmenuns4.js><\/script>");
else _d.write("<script language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js><\/script>");
-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu_data.js"></script>
<br><br><br>The Flyfree Catholic Forums - Under Construction. 
</body>
</html>

I don't necessarily want to put the menu in a table, but I would like to put our website banner on each page above the menu. How do I do this?

Thanks.

Hi

there are several options to do this. One suggestion is as follows:

- Place your banner, starting right on top
- position the menu just below the banner,

your menu, as it is, is positioned absolute, by using the top= and left= properties.

Code: Select all

with(mainmenu1=new menuname("Main Menu")){
alwaysvisible=1;
left=10;
margin=2;
orientation="horizontal";
style=menuStyle;
top=10;

Next, it depends on of what type of design you are in favour, will your page be centered or left oriented ?
If left oriented, maintain the top/left combination as above, just modify top=10; to the start-pixel, depending on the heigth of your banner.
If centered add screenposition="center"; to the menu properties and modify the left property to left="offset-x"; where x should be a value depending on half of the total width of the menu.

Everything is different if you would like to put tthe menu into table cells. Please see

Suggestion is to add screenposition=
