how to make ypSlideOutMenu work for centered 750px site on diff. screen resolutions?

Hi all,

Just grabbed the YoungPup Javascript SlideOutMenu to use on a site I'm making. The site is 750px wide, and the whole thing is centered. I want to have a 750px wide navigation bar utilizing the ypSlideOutMenu somewhere near the top, perhaps under a header image. However, in order for the slideoutmenu to work, you need to define exactly where the "slide-outs" will appear, down to the last pixel (example: new ypSlideOutMenu("menu1", "down", 5, 80, 170, 59) ). On a 800x600 monitor, the sides of my site touch the screen, so the 5 pixels from the left would work if I wanted one of the menu buttons to also touch the side. But what about a 1024x768 or higher? The "slide-out menu" would be positioned all the way over at the left, when the site is still center-aligned.

Maybe I'm just forgetting something here, or maybe you just can't do what I'm wanting.

Anybody know?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it is possible to use ypSlideOutMenu's that way with a centered layout.

You might want to consider CSS Dropdowns.

Nothing is impossible in the world of CSS, but inorder to accomplish this feat, you'll need some time and energy

Here is where you can find out how to do it, just look at his source: http://www.solardreamstudios.com/
