Function in V5 similar to V3 placemenu() function?

[scottl]

Is there anyone out there who could tell me if there is a function in V5 similar to the placemenu() function of V3 where it can be used to drop or place a emnu into a particular poistion rather than using the top and left variables? I've been trying to get around a particular problem for a fortnight now and i'm think i'm starting to crack up!!

I'm not very familiar with v3, a url might help and a description of what you are trying to do.

I use an alternative to left and top with something like
left="offset=-10";
screenposition="right";

If you position left or top and offset from there, does that help?

Unless its related to table and position="relative";

Hi Scott,

Is there anyone out there who could tell me if there is a function in V5 similar to the placemenu() function of V3...

The only way I recall PlaceMenu() being used in v3 was to embed a menu in a table cell. There is no more PLaceMenu() function in v5. You'll find an alternative method of embedding a menu in a table in the following v5 sample: http://milonic.com/menusample9.php

I've been trying to get around a particular problem for a fortnight now...

If you can describe the problem in some detail, we might be able to suggest various solutions. Can you make a graphical mockup and post it?
