Greetings,

I am creating a verticle drop-down menu in Dreamweaver using 2 images and the hotspot tools to make the words in my images links, however unless I use a layer the menu pumps all the page content below the buttons to the right of the button in use. I am using a table for alignment for what is basically a 3 column page so I can avoid frames. Even without the use of a table it does the same thing but with a layer it goes over the content below the button's instead of bumping. However, with a layer the alignment of the buttons is coming up all screwy and is different for different people I have testing.

So my question is.... is there a way to use the image drop-downs without a layer so their position is stationary and that they do NOT bump the content below it but sit on it when the buttons are in use?

Is there a better way or code to make drop down menu's that look nice and not completely generic while using at least my start image for the mouseoff button?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

UGH -- you've got a lot of ugly considerations going on there: DW layers, tables for layout, and frames.

I find DW useless when it comes to designing anything sophisticated.

I suggest you ditch the DW layers, and try a purely CSS alternative: http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/
