have searced the forum extensively for an answer to my problem, but nothing to be found.....

I'm building a site using drop down menus, all works OK until I view it on a laptop with higher screen resolution. Then the drop downs all shift across horizontally

Is it possible to define the positions of the drop downs differently to the way that I'm currently doing it ?

The sample of code that defines the drop down positions etc is :-

<IMG height=30 src="images/sce/navb.jpg" width=750 useMap=#m_navb border=0 name=navb><!-- fwtable fwsrc="images/sce/navb.png" fwbase="navb" fwstyle="Dreamweaver" fwdocid = "742308039" fwnested="0" --><MAP name=m_navb>
<AREA onmouseover=window.FW_showMenu(window.fw_menu_0,78 3,168); onmouseout=FW_startTimeout(); shape=RECT coords=620,0,742,30 href="#">
<AREA onmouseover=window.FW_showMenu(window.fw_menu_1,68 2,168); onmouseout=FW_startTimeout(); shape=RECT coords=498,0,620,30 href="#">


The (window.fw_menu_0,783,168) part of code positions the drop down.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

let me know if this is wat u wanted

Thanks for your advice Praveen. I'll check out the link and see if it helps.

You are correct in saying the drop downs have been created in Fireworks, but I've taken the output code and javascripts and stuffed them into a site that I'm designing. I don't actually have Fireworks myself, that design stuff was done by a graphics pal.....Will that make a difference to the fix ?

i.e. Is the fix a Fireworks fix or a code fix ?

do u use dreamweaver to design ur website??

cos this is an extension for dreamweaver..

you will need dreamweaver to install this and use this fx.

don't actually have Fireworks myself, that design stuff was done by a graphics pal.....Will that make a difference to the fix ?

no as long as you are using dreamweaver, u can use this extension to rectify it..


also take a look at the support pages for fireworks specific to popup menus..
here it is

maybe it will be easier to use standard way with JS and div's ?..

Hi,

Thats how I'm doing it at the moment. I took the JS & HTML code that was output from Dreamweaver/Fireworks and pasted it into a table on my site. Everything works OK apart from the actual drop downs appear in different horizontal positions when viewed on different screen resolutions.
