HELP with CSS/Javascript Drop down menu from Dynamic Drive After hours of searching for for a nice looking drop-down menu in CSS I found the perfect one on the Dynamic Drive website. It's working wonderfully - as long as I don't try and position it anywhere on the page except for the default position. As soon as I moved the top menu, the drop-down menu practically disappears off the side of the page. I've looked at the three files involved (a JavaScript file, a CSS file, and the HTML file) for hours until I'm cross eyed but none of the fixes I've tried worked. That's probably because I don't really do any JavaScript coding and I suspect the problem is there.
Here is the link to the drop down menu - Example #4: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...roptabmenu.htm
Here is what it looks like on the test page am working on: http://66.51.163.67/Indexnew.cfm (you'll see the drop-down boxes are off to the right of the page)
And below is the main html file:
I enclose the Nav bar in a Div ID called "topbuttons" and coded it like this:
position: relative;
width: 400px;
top: -12%;
right: 0px;
left: 42%;
}
The top-level menu is exactly where I want it. The drop-down boxes are driving me absolutely nuts. If I can't get help on this, I'll have to scrap the whole nav bar
- something I'd hate to do because it looks great and I've already sunk hours into it trying t get it to work

Hi MidMagic,
I had to get this working (cauase the job needs to get finished), so I kept thinking of different solutions to try. That evening I managed to fix the problem. If anyone else is having problems with the drop-down boxes lining up when you position the nav bar with CSS - let me know and I'll send you the fix.

Could this be a problem with different screen resolutions making a mess of absolute and relative rendering?
Either do everything absolute with reference to the same fixed point, or do all of the relative addressing the same way.

Please post the fix so others can view it. I am experiencing the same issues.
Thanks in advance.

I I figured it out from a message on another forum. Basically, you need to remove the dropdown menu divs outside everything except for the <body>. Here is the code sample:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dropdowntabfiles/dropdowntabs.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="dropdowntabfiles/ddcolortabs.css" />
<style type="text/css">
td {padding=2px;}
#container {position: absolute; left: 50%; width: 750px; margin-left: -375px; border: 0px; background-color: silver;}
#content {margin-top: 20px;}
#nav {position: fixed; top: 0; width: 750px; border-top: 2px solid black; border-bottom: 1px solid black;}
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor = #888888>
<div id="container">
<div id="nav">
<div id="colortab" class="ddcolortabs">
<ul>
<li><a href="" title="Home"><span>Home</span></a></li>
