CSS Menu problem

[colinod]

I have made a CSS menu and am finding that sometimes the sub menu items go off the screen depending on the resolution. Does anyone know if there is a way to prevent this?

CSS is as follows

<style type="text/css"> 
body{
	behavior:url(../scripts/cssHoverFix.htc);
	background-color: #000000;
}
#navigation {width:180px; font-size:12px;}
 
/*Main Menu*/
#navigation ul {margin:0px; padding:0px; background-color:#000000;}

#navigation ul li {
font-family:"Cooper Black";
text-align:center;
font-size:16px;
height:25px;
line-height:25px; 
list-style:none; 
padding-left:10px;
 
color:#FFFfff; 
border-top:#ef007b solid;  
border-left:#ef007b solid;
border-right:#ef007b solid;
border-width:1px;
cursor:pointer; 
}
#navigation ul li:hover {background-color:#000000; position:relative; font:"Cooper Black"; color:#ef007b}

#navigation ul ul li:hover {background-color:#ffffff; position:relative; font:"Cooper Black"; color:#ef007b}
 
/*Sub Menu*/
#navigation ul ul {
display:none;
position:absolute;
left:100px;
top:5px;
border:#ef007b solid;
border-width:1px;
background-color:#ffffff;
}
#navigation ul li:hover ul {display:block;}
 
#navigation ul ul li { width:120px; float:left; display:inline; border:#ef007b solid;
border-width:1px; color:#000000;}

</style>

And html is as follows

<div id="navigation">
              <ul>
                <li><a href="boys.asp?id=Afro - Caribbean" class="mainlink">Afro Caribbean</a></li>

You are using 'behavior' which is non-standard and only works in IE. Also, you are using asp, which most don't use, so we need to see the generated markup. A link is better.

Here is a link to the page

The behavoir is there to correct errors in old version of IE

[drhowarddrfine]

The ul for those lists is position:absolu te 100px which is causing that.

[colinod]

I have tried all the variations of the position element and they dont help, changing the number only moves it, i want it to move automatically if the sub menu goes out of the edge of the window, not sure if this is possible with CSS or needs a script language also

[drhowarddrfine]

Then you need to use a percentage for that so it moves relative to the width.

Busy next two days for me. Not sure when I can test this.

[colinod]

Thanks for that i did not know you could use percentages ill have a play and see what i can do

[colinod]

have made thise changes and its better thansk for that, i am now trying to get the sub menu background transparent, i have this done but the first link you rollover goes either transparent or white when you roll out of it, any ideas??
