Arrow Macromedia FireWorks Drop-Down Menu Problem
I used Macromedia FireWorks to generate a drop-down menu.

The problem is that the menu is shifting positions when the resolution or screen-size changes.

If you go here, you can see the menu by hovering your mouse over the buttons (underneath the main image banner).

Now, these buttons are definated in the code as:
HTML Code:
<td><img src="/Website/Index/IndexMenu(Home).jpg" onmouseout="NavigationMenuInactive();" onmouseover="NavigationMenuActive(window.MenuControl_Home_0,250,272,null);"></td>
The section that says "0,250,272" defines the location of the menu. This is where the problem lies. How can I define the menu to pop-down just under the image, no matter what the resolution, rather than have it positioned by a particular amount of pixels from the left and top of the screen?

Have you tried adjusting the numbers?
<td><img src="/Website/Index/IndexMenu(Home).jpg" onmouseout="NavigationMenuInactive();" onmouseover="NavigationMenuActive(window.MenuControl_Home_0,250,272,null);"></td>

Adjusting the numbers is not quite what I need to do. The problem is that the numbers are there, so it defines exactly what position the menu drops-down in, which is not good when the window changes size or the screen resolution changes.

Because the drop-down menu works off an image, the image moves (as does everything), when the resolution does, but the menu stays where it was originally. I need the drop-down menu to follow the button image, no matter what the resolution is.

I found a website that used the same menu system (with Macromedia FireWorks MX), and doesn't have the same problem. I had a look through the code, but couldn't find what was doing it.

The website is: http://www.teambetta.com/.

If anyone could help me further on this, I would really appreciate it.

Below is the code that I have for my drop down on a site I created. If there is not much difference with yours then I would suggest that it is a layout problem.

<TD><A HREF="#" ONMOUSEOUT="MM_swapImgRestore();MM_startTimeout();" ONMOUSEOVER="MM_showMenu(window.mm_menu_0324105453_0,0,27,null,'menurest_r1 _c3');MM_swapImage('menurest_r1_c3','','images/menuimages/menurest_r1_c3_f2.jpg',1);"><IMG NAME="menurest_r1_c3" SRC="images/menuimages/menurest_r1_c3.jpg" WIDTH="67" HEIGHT="35" BORDER="0" ALT=""></A></TD>

The site is http://www.epc.ws I have removed the use of the x/y coordinates so that the menu wont stay in one place.

Hope it helps.

I actually found a different menu to use, and it works without any problems, and with less code.

Thankyou for helping me out, though, anyway!
