Hi There,
as you can see on the images in the menu on yabsse 1.5 http://7summits.com/forum I use the pop-up javascript to expand the alt'tags.
The included file is http://7summits.com/menus/menu.html
But if I include the same file into SMF the box suddenly does not float anymore, but appears inside the page?!?
Check the dev example: http://7summits.com/smf : it looks ok, until you mouseover the images in the menu.
What has changed between Yabbse and SMF? Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
7summits

ummm. Ok, I have been bad and not a coder and sloppy and all.

But what does that have to do with the problem?
Why does it work in Yabbse, not in SMF?
well, i'm not sure, but i would start with validation. sometimes just one mis-placed item can screw up everything. happened to me today. i was puzzled why a background image wasn't showing up. finally tried to validate my css, and there was the problem. instead of ; there was a "--messed up everything.
you'll probably stumble across the solution while you're validating. go for it :)
I've never trusted absolute positioning. It just never works properly.

it works for me, but it's tricky. you have to use percentages to keep it in the proper place when the page expands or contracts.
