offset in V5

I'm using the v5.

I have my main menu set to : screenposition = "center; middle".

In order to position my menu, I'd like to have :
- horizontal offset = -200px
- vertical offset = -100px.

How can I do that ?

Thanks

Pleaaaase, guys !

It's really important, and I've just past 3 hours looking for a trick.

I'm a bit desesperate here. No offset with V5 ?

Come on ! It's not possible :))

This is my code that leaves the menu in the middle......

Code:
with(milonic=new menuname("mainmenu2")){_c=1
top = 10;                     // was 10
//left = 300;                     // was 10
//itemwidth=90                     // was 60
//menuwidth="29%";                  // was 99%
borderwidth = 1;                  // was 1
screenposition = "center;middle";
alignment="center";
style = mainStyle;
alwaysvisible = 1;
orientation="horizontal"


If I remove the // from left=300 I can then adjust the position.

I hope this is what you mean.

When you remove the // of :
//top=10
//left=10

The menu is not middle centered anymore.
It is no relative positionning but fixed positionning.

It will take the (0,0) coordinate and place the menu at (10,10).

That's not want I want to do. I need to offset (ex: lefOffset=-100, topOffset=-100) my menu from the : middle, center of the screen, so that I can place it relatively.

Thanks for your reply, but I just try it again, and it's not working for me.

I used the "horinzontal.htm" given with the V5.
Try it, you'll see !

Just a guess... have you tried position="relative";

Offsets need to be enclosed in quotes with a syntax of
Code:
left="offset=-100"


Offsets are also only used in conjunction with screenposition.

Cheers
Andy.
