Bob, I think that you need to absolutely position your content DIV to get this behavior.
So if the content DIV is contained within the menu DIV (unlikely), then you could set "position: relative" on the menu div and set "position: absolute; top: <your offset value>" on the content DIV. If the menu and content DIVs are peers, then you should put another DIV around your menu DIV, do "position: relative" on that and then "position: absolute" on your content DIV as above. The positioning stuff is non-trivial, so don't feel bad if it's confusing. Wes Robert Tilley wrote: >Please, I am a newcomer to this list.
