Folks,
I need some favors here. And its very urgent.
I want to create a navigation bar like what they have in http://www.microsoft.com.
You can put your mouse on the navigation bar and it drops a list of choices. My problem is when I use CSS positioning with "position:absolute" and resize the window the drop down list still shows at the original position and not under the link.
I am unable to figure out what I need to do to avoid the problem.
So that, the distance of the list is always calculated before dropping down.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Rex

If you want to create on exactly like the one at microsoft, then you will need to use a .js file that will lay out all of the boxes and links along with the cascading style sheet.
Another alternative to using css and .js files is to use hierarchial menus.
