[m rastgar]

i wrote this message 3 days ago. but i have no answer. does really nobody know? if yes, so how so many menu is created? but i suppose that nobody read my message. so i repeate it. i want to simulate a menu with two div elemen. one for father node which its position is no absolute and placed in an table cell. another div is my menu body. i should find the position of first div (top, left) and then set the position of second div. i check style.top, style.left, all["div1"].style.top, all["div2"].style.left,... but i don't have any resault. how can i find the first div position in the browser window? thanks rastgar

You don't need to. Place the div for the sub menu inside the div for the menu item, and position it absolutely. Set position: relative on the menu item so that the sub menu will be positioned relative to that.

If an object isn't set to position:absolute, it doesn't have a top / left value, so you won't ever be able to get it - suggest going for position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px;
