Please help - I can't get the OFFSET thing to work

[jmiddleont@celn.org]

Hi All

I'm trying to get the DHTML menu thing to work, and it's almost there but I can't seem to force it to work; I'm trying to get the DHTML mouseover menu's to appear at the immediate top-right of the Windows/Kitchens/Bathrooms GIF buttons:

I've tried altering those Offset things, but changing the values seems to have no impact at all >>>
eg; _subOffsetTop=-8 _subOffsetLeft=-2

I'm sure this is something obvious I'm doing wrong in the calls, but I've spent too long on this the last few hours, so I'm missing something completely.... can someone please help?

Please write me back directly at jackiem@celn.org if possible?

Many thanks

Jackie

You probably need

left="offset=Xpx";

where X is you number, can be negative, place it in menu styles, that's just above menu items.

No luck...
I edited the menu_data.js file to include such a line, but the mouseover menu is still coming up in the wrong place...

See

and http://www.thinktankmarketing.co.uk/not ... ndexx.html

What could be going wrong? Can someone please point out what's actually wrong in my HTML or JS file???

Helllllllllppppppp...

You are not using a vertical menu with images inside the menu which would then have the submenu open at whichever position you set in the subOffsets. You are using a pop function linked to images and the pop menu opens at the left side of the image to which it's linked. It's not a 'submenu' per se. If you put a left=Xpixels or use Maz's left="offset=Xpixels" in the actual menu you are popping then it will move. I tested it in Netscape, 7 Opera 7, IE5.5 Firebird .07.
