Default Pop-up Menu child "position"

I've done a search here (as well as a million other sites) but have not found an answer. Anyway, I have had a problem with the child menus created by the Pop-up menu behaviour position out on the right and go off the side of the page and so I'd like to have them pop up to the left but cannot figure out the Javascript to fix it. The menu is here (though it is just the menu and not the rest of the site):

I hope someone here can help...thanks!

Hi there,

I don't know if there is a fix available at all. The code that Dreamweaver generates for these menus is extremely messy. Personally, I never use them. For many reasons, including behavior and maintenance of your code, you'd better look into clean CSS menus. With a simple structure of[list] and <li> elements you can create elegant menus like the one on this site: http://www.designit.nl/

I know it's not a real answer to your question, but IMO it's worth considering.

Cheers,

Imar

Well, that definately sucks that there cannot be any manipulation in the code. Well, who knows, this was for a site I was working on at a firm that I'm laid off from at the moment, so who knows if I'll ever be back again.

Yeah, that sucks, but probably not as bad as being laid off. SOrry to hear that....
