Top Banner designed in Fireworks 1

[tforr]

Hi,

I have designed a banner to go on the top of web page. This has a number of combo boxes i.e I have 5 boxes going along the botton of my banner. These are

HOME - LOGIN - PRODUCTS - SERVICES - ABOUT US

Each option has a number of further options i.e when the browser hovers over Services they will see the following:

CONSULTANCY
IMPLEMENTATION
MANAGEMENT
TRAINING
SUPPORT
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
SOFTWARE SUPPORT
REPORTING

All the links are working really well. The problem lies when I set the screen to different screen resolutions. If for example I have set the screen resultion to 800 x 600 pixels, the banners drop down boxes are lined up well. If I then change the resolution to 1024 x 768 the drop down boxes are no longer where they should be. All drop down options are positioned a specific amount of pixels to the left and therefore no longer where they should be. I need to take this problem into account because browsers will have different resolution settings.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Regards,

Thomas

Check the FAQs section. Take a look at "Positioning PopUp Menus". Hopefully that'll help.

I had a look at "Positioning PopUp" Menu's on the FAQ's page. The information is great but I wasnt told how I can solve my problem when I resize my browser and the PopUp menu change positions on my web page. VERY annoying.

Does anyone have anymore ideas?

Take a look at my website to get a better idea. Remember to change the size of the browser window.

If you create a pop-up menu in Fireworks, you place the menu relative to the button itself rather than in a pixel-specific location which prevents this problem from occuring. Did you create your logo/menu in FW or some other way?

I created my logo/menu in fireworks and then imported it into Dreamweaver MX. Thanks for your feedback mattygriff. So where do I start so I can prevent this from happening. Would appreciate the help.

Thanks and kind regards,

Double-click on one of your pop-up menus and work through the 'wizard'. One of the screens allows you to place the pop-up in a specific location relative to the button.

I assume that, on re-exporting the HTML, this would rectify your problem.
