RE: Slightly OT: CSS Help Needed!
I *think* that if you use absolute positioning within a , the "absolute" position is actually relative to the DIV. Could be wrong. So maybe if you put the table in a DIV of its own and also put the menu inside that DIV?

I'm trying to design drop-down menus using CSS. If I knew exactly where the menus were to appear, it would be easy using absolute positioning and the visibility property. Unfortunately, the menus must be placed relative to a table. The table is centered on the page, and it's width isn't always the same. The menus must be aligned with this table. When I use relative positioning, the menu appears in the right place, but it is positioned inline with the rest of the page. Rather than overlapping with the elements below it, it simply pushes them lower and makes room for itself. I can't seem to get the menu to float "above" the picture below it.
