I have successfully installed a vertical menu in a cell on my webpage.

What I am finding is that when the menu loads, it forces a large blank space below the last menu tab that you can select. This blank space dissappears when I remove the menu id data from the cell. The blank space is about 200 - 300 pixels in size.

Any suggestions why the menu is forcing this blank space on the page.

Help appreciated

The only data that should be in the cell is the Free flow id, which if you have only one toolbar will be 'dmbTB1ph' and your code for the cell should look something like <td id="dmbTB1ph" align="left" valign="top"></td>
The DHTML Menu Builder Loader code should be immediately after the <body> tag

Hope this helps, if not post a link to your page and somebody will help

Both those links show the same page, both with menus.

I have used the custom option to get round the problem and recompiled.

The problem is that when I put the code into a cell, the grey line moves down about 200 pixels.

I have recreated (the problem) as it appears and repost the links. The html files have been modified as how they appeared.

Hi Hywel,

I loaded the wrong files. The correct files was on my desktop and i used the ones on my laptop.

This happens when I put the menu code in a cell.

Without the menu

With the menu

The blue/grey line shows how much it moves when I add the menu

Glad you got my message I have looked at your code and have the following questions
Have you used the Free Flow method to place your menu in the cell? If yes have you selected it in Toolbar Editor/Positioning? If yes again I cannot find the 'id' in the cell reference of the cell you wish to contain the toolbar. It should look something like <td id="dmbTB1ph" height="34">etc
If you have not used Free Flow how have you positioned the toolbar.

It might be a good idea if you also post your DMB project and we can look at that as well

I have used the freeflow method and added the code <td id="dmbTB1ph"> to the cell. This caused the line image to be pushed down

How I got round it now is to use the custom method as the size and position of my header will not change, so the menu is OK where it is, but this is then static for all pages where it will appear. For now this is a work around.

The above works OK as long as you dont resize the screen. Cant log a call via the TT system, but have send a online response. Any suggestions appreciated as this is now becoming important to get the layout sorted to be published.
