span within a span problem

[jnroche]

Hi guys!im trying to display a sub-menu popup from within a 'parent' menu that is also a popup. both of these objects are each inside a span tag. the problem is when selecting one parent menu item the sub menu appears limitedly contained within the size of the parent span tag (parent menu) in other words the child menu that is supposed to display 10 sub items now only shows its upper-left corner as opposed to showing the entire sub span tag(the child span contains table by the way)i achieved best reults using mozilla but IE6, nah!!!$*#%what the?
