Re: [css-d] fluid design and dropdown menus... I'm a bit stuck

I want to keep the menu text size in ems, so it's accessible can be 
easily resized for everyone to read. The problem is this:

ABSOLUTE POSITIONED MENUS

Pros: the menus appear where they're meant to.
Cons: the text can't be resized; the page won't reflow when the 
browser window is narrowed.


RELATIVE POSITIONED MENUS

Pros: people can resize the text to their prefered viewing size; the 
design reflows with broswer window size.
Cons: can't get the menus to appear in the right place all the time.


So I wondered if anyone else had tackled this issue. Seems you can't 
have the best of both worlds...


Thanks for your help - Dunstan
