Thanks for the reply Joel. The jdmenu (current beta version) is employing the bgiframe to compensate for this same issue. Basically you bind the bgiclass to an element like a div or in the case of an ordered list to the the UL tag. It then applies an iframe only for IE6. I was able to make it

Reading this has inspired me to update the bgiframe plugin. I'm going to have an options hash that can be passed in. The options will be: * offsetTop: auto || specific value * offsetLeft: auto || specific value * width: auto || specific value * height: auto || specific value * zIndex: -1 ||

Sounds great Brandon. My only thought is that currently your plugin is nice and light which is great for such a useful utility plugin. Wouldn't adding all these features bump up the size to almost 200%? On the other hand I'm sure you have weighed the pros and cons of this so... awesome!
