Sherri, You can use the open callback to handle repositioning the container if you wish. The callback gets 4 arguments: $container, $a, $selected, $title
The $container argument is a jQuery object referencing the dropdown. You could just offset it's top position by XXX amount to move the box up. -Dan On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 10:07 AM, Sherri <enigmaticf...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm working on a website where we're using the jquery.linkselect > plugin, and we're running into a situation where we have one of the > dropdown linkselect menus happening near the very bottom of the users' > window.
