position=relative; causes menu to disappear

I know this may be a wicked newbie question -- but I'm trying to position my menu within a table.

But when I use the position=relative; statement, the menu disappears.

Below is the code from the data file:


with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
style=menuStyle;
position=relative;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="horizontal";

On my HTML page, I take the script statements in their entirety and place them within the table cell, correct?

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

You've left out the double quotes around "relative", so it's trying to assign position a value contained within a variable named relative, which doesn't exist. Try this:

Hope that helps,

Kevin

Ah -- as I said, I'm a newbie.

Thanks! That did it.

Basically anything that's a string needs the quotes...

onbgcolor = "transparent";
oncolor = "#ff9933";
fontsize = "12px";
fontfamily = "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica";

Anything that's strictly numeric does not...

separatorsize = 1;
padding = 4;
top = 130;
left = 25;

etc.
