css positioning

[cedsn]

I am trying to setup a series of hidden menus that will drop down on mouseover.. getting the menus to appear is working OK, but I am having some issues with the positioning..

I tried using relative positioning, but while it puts the menu close to where it needs to be but also pushes down the table cells below the menu.. i don't want to use absolute positioning because if ppl are using bigger/smaller fonts, etc, my link wont be on the same place in the page at all times..

any ideas?

you can see what i'm working on here (http://216.71.107.93/categories.cgi?type=parts&category=ahlstrom).

thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

First -- I don't have a 'real' answer for you.

Second -- I don't know what your requirements are for getting this portion done (hard code, use scripts, etc), but I think there's something on www.DynamicDrive.com that might help (too tired to look it up). One might also be able to use the following to get the desired result ... http://www.24fun.com/downloadcenter/utilsublinker/utilsublinker.html .

Third -- Howdy! I'm just down the road in Austin.
