[css-d] Dynamically positiong sub menus and Bottom up navigation menu

Hi, We have a very simple two level left navigation with second level dynamically appearing on hovering an item in first level list. Since the list of first level items is long, the sub-menu for the items closer to the bottom of screen is displayed off the bottom edge of screen. Is there a way u

[css-d] Drop Cap missing in FF4

Hi all, I have a site which uses drop caps at the start of some pages. The code for this is taken more or less straight out of Dan Cederholm's "Web Standards Solutions", apart from the font-family line. A .drop {float: left; font-size: 300%; line-height: 1em; margin:
