Need to reposition <UL> element with javascript.
I am modifying a natty piece of javascript code I have for menus. I am trying to expand it to meet a clients requirements.
The test set for this is as follows:
As you can see, I am trying to add image elements to the menu. Part of the requirement is that the 'popup' be left justified to the top level <ul> tag (with id= 'menu'). As you can see from my example the 'popup' currently appears nested (and ot surprisingly) within it's parent <li> tag.
There does not seem to be a clean CSS solution to this so I am looking at the javascript. As far as I can see there is the possibility within the 'dd.prototype.st=function(
The problem is I have a basic understanding of what is going on but not enough to take it apart and create a robust solution. I am now out of my depth.
I understand that I could re-invent the whole thing in jquery, but as i have 99% of the functionality already working it seems a bit daft not to try and mod the existing code?
I don't mind changing the HTML code to facilitate a simpler solution of that is recomended.
Thanks in advance. :)
