Firefox offsetLeft

[Paul Nash]

This is a dropdown menu script thats works ok in IE but is not positioning
properly in Firefox. m.style.pixelLe ft and Top are being set to the right
values. But the menu, in a div block, is being displayed as though the
pixelLeft and Top are being ignored.

<script type='text/javascript' >
var cm=null;
document.onclic k = new Function("show( null)")
function getPos(el,sProp ) {
var iPos = 0
while (el!=null) {
iPos+=el["offset" + sProp]
el = el.offsetParent
}
return iPos
}

function show(el,m) {
if (m) {
m.style.pixelLe ft = getPos(el,"Left ")
m.style.pixelTo p = getPos(el,"Top" ) + el.offsetHeight
m.style.display ='';
}
if ((m!=cm) && (cm)) cm.style.displa y='none'
cm=m
}
</script>
.. . .
<a href='page?page =gifts' class='menulink '
onmouseover='sh ow(this,menu_gi fts);' >
Gifts
</a>
.. . .

<!-- MENU BOX for gifts -->
<div id='menu_gifts' class='submenu' style='display: none;' >

<!-- start of imagebox -->
<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0'>
<tbody>

pixelLeft and pixelTop are IE specific properties. Of course you can add
these properties, but they don't have any meaning for Firefox.
function show(el,m) {
if (m) {
m.style.pixelLe ft = getPos(el,"Left ")
m.style.pixelTo p = getPos(el,"Top" ) + el.offsetHeight

Try this:
m.style.left = getPos(el,"Left ") + "px";
m.style.top = (getPos(el,"Top ") + el.offsetHeight ) + "px";
