clip and relative positioning

[Jeff Blume]

i have a dynamic menu that shoots out horizontal submenus when
graphics on the left are rolled over. i'm using <div> layers and
manipulating their visibility properties to do this. the problem i'm
having is when all submenus are invisible, any weblinks or buttons i
have to the right of the menu are inactive. the space used for the
layers seems to be covering this up. i've tried to clip the layer but
it only seems to work if the layer's position is set to absolute, and
i need it to be relative. can clipping work with realtive
positioning? if not, is there an alternative?
thanks,
jb

Clipping only works for absolutely positioned elements. Try setting
"display:no ne" instead of "visibility:hid den" so the div's are not only
removed from view but from existance.
