messing with Fireworks js 1

[simmerdown]

I'm working with Macromedia Fireworks' javascript-generated dhtml pop-up menu, trying to adjust it to suit my needs. By default, it positions the menus absolutely (as opposed to relatively) in the browser window ... which is great as long as the layout of the page is aligned to the left edge of the browser window. But I'm trying to position the menus relative to the right side of the window, and I'm having no success. I could toss out a bunch of vague questions regarding relative positioning vs. absolute, or right vs. left, but instead I'll just point you to the code because I don't completely understand what I need to ask.

[the menu is right-aligned in a table on the page, but the popups are in the original position, grr]

[the file that actually generates the menus]

I'd be really impressed if any of you managed to edit this to produce menus that position themselves relative to the location of the navigation images, not relative to the edge of the browser window.

I have the exact same problem and have searched how and low for an answer.

The problem is posted in one of their technotes at

Also Holtenwood computing at

claims to have a solution to the problem, however, I have not had a chance to experiment with it as of yet.

Hope this helps and good luck!
