Problems trying to re-locate menu bar

http://doityourself.com/menu/1.htm is a beta test page.
Do not worry, many of the links are bad (linking to shtml pages in new subheadings while originals were in htm)

Want to create a table where menu bar that would be located at the top of the table. I would like to be able to put a leaderboard ad - 728 by 90 above it when it is sold. Right now having problems moving the menu bar. Any solutions?

Right now it's where you told it to be...
Code:
top=10;
left=10;

I suspect left is where you want it (maybe?), so change the top value to move it down.

Also (probably not causing a problem, but just syntax)...
Code:
aI("text=       Sitemap          ;url=/sitemap.htm;");

Spaces between your spaces (huh?) are not necessary...
Code:
aI("text=   Sitemap     url=/sitemap.htm;");

...and the double ;; can come out as well.

that's confusing, & n b s p ; then there should be another ; before url.

& n b s p ; ; url

Why not use padding instead

padding="0px 5px 0 5px";

The order is clockwise: top 0, right 5pixels, bottom 0, left 5pixels.

Or align="center"

Or itemwidth="30px";

Spaces are okay, you might want to even items out later.

You are correct, of course. Gettin' old (as we discussed). Code would then be...
Code:
aI("text=   Sitemap     ;url=/sitemap.htm;");

As you mentioned, padding is a better idea.

Thank You - but still a small question remains...

The positioning worked for no banner on top. We are cleaning up our code towards style sheets.

One problem is if we add an ad tag to the top on some pages for a 728 by 90 leaderboard, we have to use a different version of the tag on those pages or the menu overlaps the ad. Can the menu be positioned relative to a link within the table, not to the page?

Yes. Have a look at http://www.milonic.com/menusample9.php, which is meant to address exactly this issue... relative positioning by embedding the menu in a table. Your banner ad could either appear as a link within the same cell as the meu, or in a separate cell above the menu's cell (which would be empty when you want no banner).

Hope that helps,

Kevin
