I've found that I had the same trouble.  My DIV is horizontally centered but the pop-up divs end up the same distance away from this DIV as they should be from the edge of the window.

I tried to solved this by adding some Vars to the javascript that get the second to last value on the loop. This is the loop in GetOffsetLeft and Top, that adds up the distance between the child and parent elements all the way to the window element.

However this didn't work in IE for some reason. So instead I placed a div around any particular element that calls the dropdown.  and told the popup to offset 25px from top and 0px from left.

- complicated but it works well now

You can re-position them by altering the numbers after the 'onclick' command]]> Fri, 03 Aug 2007 08:11:23 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/new-dropdown-items-arent-positioning-correctly_topic24050_post125987.html#125987 <![CDATA[new dropdown items aren't positioning correctly : I have the forum wrapped in centered...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/new-dropdown-items-arent-positioning-correctly_topic24050_post125980.html#125980 Author: odang

I have the forum wrapped in centered specific size div tags and all the new submenus that dropout aren't even close to where they should be.
 
Any idea how to fix this?
