grandchild left: 0 relative to parent

[asylum]

Is there a way to do this? If so I would really like to know how. It seems like some trick of position: relative; and position: absolute; might work when combined in some crazy way that I've yet to think of. So far all my attempts have been futile.If it helps at all, I'm trying to make a menu that is composed of horizontal bars with links across them and only the right-most link shows until you hover over it then I'll have a js function that slides the bar out.Example:

+------------------------------------------------+| link1 link 2 link3...etc.......link that shows |+------------------------------------------------+

I am unclear to exactly what you meen but there is this tryit editor that seemed to be close to your description The DHTML sliding horizontal menu. If this is nothing like what you want disregard it.

that's basically what I mean except in that example they use left: -135px which is a hard-coded value and I want to know if there's a way to calculate it using positioning and float values to get the same result.I hope that makes sense o_O

http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/index.htmlTake a look at that, mainly the ones under "multi-level CSS only". Any of those close to what you want?

Unfortunately no, but I think I'll figure something out.My greater problem at the moment is my test.html. The background image that I am telling it to include isn't being included. I would appreciate it if someone could take a look at it...it's in the directory that I gave a link to earlier.

Haha, I was thinking of another thread. But yeah, I know how to work CSS, I was just having a caching problem so when I refreshed it didn't always refresh the page so I thought things weren't behaving correctly. Everything works now.As far as my menu idea, I don't know how else to say it, it's kinda weird but if I could code it then it would be easy...and I dare say, fun....to traverse/navigate.In the next couple of days look at this site to see if my menu has made progress. I had a half-working version earlier (but I broke it so I'll have to work on fixing it) and now I have the other half working so I just need to combine the two .
