Welcome to the forums, rattu.

First, can we assume the dropdowns are written in css+javascript (dhtml), rather than java?

And second, it would help a lot to know what "doesn't work" means in a bit of detail. Is the positioning off? Do the dropdowns not show at all?

And finally, do you see a problem when the window is resized to 800x600? Or are you loading the page on a machine that is already set at 800x600.

First of all thanks for the reply and with
1.The dropdown is written in java script and i also used css
2. The drop down menu if getting positioning off, the drop is showing in all resolution.
3.When I set resolution lower then 1024, this problem is occurring.

Thanks

Is it possible your menu is wrapping? I've seen instances where javascript menus have some wierd placement issues if they are longer then the available height.

Gers menu is the best! :D

First, we have a very good thread discussing a dhtml menu system:

[webmasterworld.com...]

You may either want to use this code as it is, or study it to see how you can make your existing code work more properly.

And second, check your CSS positioning rules for both the dropdowns and the original static menu items that appears on the page. If the dropdowns are positioned in relation to the main window (instead of the menu item that they expand) you can get into troubles when the resolution changes. This especially haunts web pages that are centered rather than aligned to the left.

hi,
tedster, Thanks for u r suggestion. I solved the problem of the Netscape resolution by trapping the X-Y co-ordinates, and it working fine, but the problem Iam finding now is this.
I have to open a new browser window to get the effect of the change in the resolution, even if refresh I the page it doesn't show me the effect.Pls suggest how I can trap the change in resolution without opening a new window. And is there any other way around.
*Iam using image as a drop down-menu and using the java-script to display it.Using css for decoration purpose only....
Thanks in advance..
