Thanks Leon,
Project 7's extension does pretty much the same thing that I had done,
albeit in one easy step. It's now installed as a happy addition to my
Dreamweaver family :-)
I was able to solve my problem by setting the top location of each of
my subnavs so that they all have the same Y-coordinate. Now when I
change their margin-top position it's the same amount for each of them.
This eliminates the jumping around I was encountering.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the Project 7 tip. I had bought an extension
from them a few years ago but don't use it too much. The extension that
solved my problem happened to be a free one!
thanks again,
brian
