Urgent Help with Centered Page

Hi ,
I just upgraded the script for 3.4 to 5.43. The site was aligned to the left now we need to align it to the center.

How do I bind the popout menus to the cell the mouseover button is in.

I am not using the main menu, just the individual menus.

http://www.2-way.biz/products.htm

This is an example of the coding I am using with the mouseover.

<td width="156">
<a href="../products.htm"
onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore();popdown()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image13','','../images/mouseover/products.gif',1);popup('products')"><img src="../images/default/products.gif" name="Image13" width="156" height="23" border="0">
</a></td>

Thanks

Hi Sean,

You are giving your submenus absulute positions by setting their top and left properties. If you do that, they will always open in the same location, no matter where the mainmenu "button" image is. Instead, remove top= and left= from the menu definitions. Then:

(1) Give each of the main menu images an id and name, using the id= and name= attributes inside the <img> tag.

(2) Specify the image name/id you want to use as a location anchor in the call to popup(). E.g.

would open the "products" submenu at the image named "products_main".

You can read more about the variations of the popup() method here.

Hope that helps,

Kevin

You're welcome.

One other note... if you want to bump the submenus over some, you can supply top and left offets in your call to popup():

Cheers,

Kevin

Using text links instead of images

Hi Kevin and Andy,

How do I center align if I am using text links only.

So I won't have images to use for id and name?

Thanks

I looked at the page, could you be a little more descriptive as to what you want to do, what it is you want to be centered?

Horizontal Scroll Bars

Hi Ruth,

I fixed the last problem but I just noticed. When the main table is aligned to the center the horizontal scroll bars are forced wider than the page should be.

If I align default there is not problem, just when I align center. The main table is onlt 780 wide.

Thanks
