Positioning of submenus using image map

I've created an image map so that when various sections are rolled over a different hyperlinked text menu will appear. I have used the US map menu as a template for doing this.

My question is: Is there a way to make each hyperlinked text menu appear in the exact same location on the screen? Currently they appear right beside the mouse cursor wherever the rollover happens to be.

Thanks!

Hi,

A url to the page so we can see what's up and exactly what you're trying to do would be best.

Are you asking how to set it up so that all submenus would open at a particular point on the 'map' so, no matter which link triggered the particular submenu it would open at, say 100px from the top and 100px from the left?

If that is what you mean you might take a look at the pop menu sample. There is also a methods and functions section which has information on setting a menu position, and at the bottom talks about pop function and how to specify where the menu is to open.

Declaring top and left properties to the sub menus will allow them to be fixed in place.

Thanks for you help folks. using the popup function along with the image id and then positioning relative to the image did the trick.
