OK, nevermind. I got it. CSS is a fucking mess. I don't know why I have to
nest divs of different position types just to get a relative addressing in
absolute mode off the current content block.

To shift the things I had to encause the menu's in two divs, on in relative
positioning and the other in absolute. If I just did one or the other it
wouldn't work ;/


crap... in IE the shifting screws it up. IE seems to only shift 1/2 of what
firefox does ;/ guess I can solve it with a conditional shift.


Thanks,
Jon
