Can anyone suggest a solution for the following problem:

My javascript menu keeps defaulting to the top left of the page whenever I
use tables in my design.

When I use layers in my design, the javascript menu stays in position.

Currently all my templates are designed with layers, but I want to use
tables so that my site is more compatible with different browsers.

How can I keep my javascript menu from defaulting to the top left of the
page? Thank you in advance for your help.


Is it really necessary for you to be creating that menu from a

javascript file. It is that which is probably the cause of your problems
or it could be your table code, which is pretty bad to be honest.

Personally I would ditch the javascript and use either a SSI, thats if
you really want to suck it in from outside the page or a library item maybe.

Also Im not sure why you want to use tables instead of layers, unless
you find them easier to work with. All new browsers plus the dreaded
nn4x will have no trouble in displaying your layer where you want them.

You seem to be making life difficult for yourself when there is really
no need to, unless of course you have a vaild reason for the methods you
are using .
