How to position menu offset to the right

Post by panflute »

I have a page with a left border background, and a floating menu. While everything looks great on a standard wide screen monitor, the text and menu overlap the left border on a low res monitor.
I am using straight HTML.
Using the <OL><OL> commands I can move everything to the right, away from the border, but the menu remains positioned in the center.
I want to change the horizontal position of the menu, but for this page only, not the entire site.
Is there a way to do this?


thank you much!!

The absolute simplest way to change it for only one page is to copy the data file, rename it and set the left="offset=x"; in the main menu, then on that page you'd call that data file. If the problem is occuring due to the resizing of the page that is really another problem. There is a menu property called minleft. This works with a positioning of the menu using screenposition, i.e. screenposition="center"; minleft=50; This would center the menu but if someone resized the window it would prevent the menu from going any farther to the left than 50px, that is there would always be a 50px space on the left side of the page no matter how small they made the window the menu would leave that 50px.

I'd really need to see the page to give a more exact answer.
