Hi folks!
Check out http://www.hipbrick.com/.
Mouse-Over PRODUCTS.
The menu should appear directly under the header. It doesn't for me. It appears about 30 px to the right. Until I resize the browser window, when it appears, lined up perfectly. Until I refresh, when it appears to the right. Until I resize the window, when it appears perfectly. Until I ...

Any ideas?

if you change this
Code:
with(milonic=new menuname("SubMenu_3")){
left="offset=-188";
to -215, it opens below in ie5.1 and opera 7, but in opera6 it's still off to the right and in NN 4,6,7 it's all the way top left no matter what you do with that offset. I don't know if there's something else that needs to be changed. But, that number works in ie and the newer version of opera.
left="offset=-188";

Thanks, Innkeeper!
Unfortunately, that doesn't resolve the problem: the big issue is why it jumps around depending on whether you refresh or resize the window. Related, I would assume, is the fact that the measurement in pixels is only accureate on resize, not on reset.
Anyone have other ideas?

Hi folks ...
Just for closure ... Andy pointed me to the solution on this one. I was using the mouseover on an image to trigger the sub-menus, and was using the code
Code:
popup('menuName')
and not
Code:
popup('menuName', 'imgName')
Evidently, this matters: that is, by telling Milonic exactly what the sourse of the popup action is helps it calculate the position more reliably.
I don't understand quite why--the center of the screen is the same, regardless--but it does solve the issue, so I'm posting it here in case others either (a) run into the same problem or (b) can shed light on what specifying the second argument does.
