relative positioning (again)

kngpengwin · Post by **kngpengwin** » Wed Oct 30, 2002 10:48 pm

I'm trying to position the menu 100 pixels from the left edge of a table cell. is there any way to do this? I've tried using PlaceMenu at the edge of the cell and then putting 100 into Menu Left, but the Menu Left doesn't do anything (I'm using Menu Top to move it down 20 pixels from the top of the cell, and that works).
I've also tried sandwiching PlaceMenu next to an image that is 100 pixels wide, but on Macs this causes a line break in the table cell (works fine on PC).
I've also tried using "center" for Screen Position and then counting back from center and putting a negative number in Menu Left, but the menu just centers.

anybody have any advice?

thanks!

Try this tip from Andy.

Try using an offset for the left position like this

"offset=-200" //Left

Put whatever value you need in there to line things up

Same would work for relative Top positioning I imagine.
