Positioning with tables

[elizabeth_s]

This is a major DHTML newbie question, so I apologize in advance. I'm at the point of trying to get the hang of things by messing around with existing scripts.

My question: Do any of the CoolMenus scripts work particularly well within tables? I'm trying to get a top layout not unlike the one on the internal pages at [url:z78ifba079]http://www.hearmusic.com[/url:z78ifba079] without actually stealing their code... :-)

I suspect that I'm being overly optimistic about my abilities, though. Thanks!

No it does not help to place the coolMenus inside a table since they are absolute positioned.

It should be possible to get it placed wherever you want though.

Thank you! I suppose it's not that I'm having trouble getting the menu placed correctly... more that I'm having trouble getting everything else placed around it. For example, if I have all my content in a centered table that's 640px, and I also center the menu and make the backgroundbar 640px, they don't end up in exactly the same place. Just a few pixels off.

Is there an obvious way to do that, or do I just need to play with it until I figure it out?

Thanks again...
