RE: [WSG] moving elements
Hi, You could solve the problem at a stroke by not using absolute positioning. If you use relative positioning and change the value for 'top:', it will stay after the content as it is resized. Also, you could make things easier by not using a graphic for that menu. Why have you chosen to do this?

Then your spacing will increase proportionally to the size of the text. If, however, you want to maintain a specific amount of space regardless of font size (say in a table you want the contents of a td to always maintain a consistent 6px from the sides of the td) then use fixed sizes, such as pixels.
