Advanced vbmenu positioning help please?

[carcomp]

I'm creating a new type of navbar that floats (i.e. docked at the top of the screen) with the rest of the forum beneath it.

Everything is working fine until you scroll the page down some. The popup menus seem to 'go down' the page the further you scroll. Check out the screenshots. I just CAN'T figure this out. I understand how the vbmenu works normally, and how to position (line it up with your text) etc, but this is a new one.

Please help!

Well think about it Car Comp.... why does it do that?

So when a user clicks it... it stays open until you select what you need... that will always be an issue w/ the javascript and the code your using to do the floating navbar. One hint is to add some extra spacing near the bottom of your footer so if there's anything pertinent down there i.e. links it will not cover them and they can scroll a bit more to see everything required. Nice concept I had the same idea many moons ago but due to that error and some member complaints removed but also remember to add in a close box so they can move it out of the way if they wish and you might have it! Some "members" on some boards do not share the same overall opinions!

S-MAN

Edit: Also, do like I did... offer two versions of the navbar via conditional coding, so everyone and new users see the old navbar BUT guys who read the forums know you have a thread up describing how to join a public usergroup that changes their navbar to a floating one for uber easy navigation - just a thought and yes it works!

I don't know how many times i've reached the limit of some 'pre-written' code or activex control etc. I'm gonna write a completely new dropdown menu.

Solves that problem huh? Thanks for the quirky reply. Delightful reading.
