heres what i do. place two div's in your tables wherever you need
locate, like this:
<div id="dummy1" style="position:absolute;"></div>
<div id="dummy2" style="position:relative;">content to locate</div>
find the position of the divs using either dynapi's inline extension or
whatever means you like. take the relDiv for ns4 and the absDiv for all
else. also for mac ie, offset by (10,15). like so:
var dummy,myLayer;
DynAPI.onLoad=function() {
dummy=this.document.getAll()[is.ns4?"dummy2":"dummy1"];
myLayer=new DynLayer();
var adjustX=(is.platform=='mac' && is.ie ?10:0);
var adjustY=(is.platform=='mac' && is.ie ?15:0);
myLayer.moveTo(dummy.getPageX()+adjustX,dummy.getPageY()+adjustY);
.....
DynAPI.document.addChild(myLayer);
}
DynAPI.addResizeFunction('document.location.reload(true)');
ive been doing it like this for a while. if someone has a better idea,
id love to hear it.
