Dynamic menu problem

Hi all --

I am trying to update our site menu to go from a simple menu-with-rollovers=
 to a new version in DHTML or Javascript that will permit "child" submenus =
to pop up off the standard 1-column vertical menu bar.  I need to use =
absolute positioning to keep the menu in place on the lefthand side of our =
pages amidst several other elements.  In addition, the menu must always be =
apparent on the pages, though the child submenus need only open on =
mouseover.

When I do this using "HV Menu," a script I got from Dynamic Drive, it does =
not work properly because the position of the menu changes when anyone =
viewing the page re-sizes the browser window.  (You are welcome to check =
out my draft page for this at www.lieffcabraser.com/media_center.htm ; you =
should see the menu "move" down the page if you make the browser window =
full-sized).

I'm certainly not asking anyone to vet the script itself (which is why I =
am not including it here).  I'm really just seeking (a) info from anyone =
who may have encountered a similar problem in the past, and/or (b) =
recommendations for a menu script that would permit child menus to pop up =
on mouseover.

(For what it's worth, I have tried scripts from several sources, and none =
seem to work as I need them to; this includes the Hiermenus script from =
Webreference.com, which does not seem to include a version for a static =
menu that will always be on the page, and open up child submenus as the =
mouse passes thereover).=20

Any help and info anyone can provide will, as usual, be greatly appreciated=
.  Thanks in advance for your time and attention.

John
