I am in the process of updating my Productcart website with a vertical Spry menu along the left side of my page. As you select items from the menu, the submenu pops up to the right of the main menu as it should. However, closer to the bottom of the page, the bottom items on submenus display below the fold line of the page. Does anyone know how to force Spy submenu to display above the fold line as you select items closer to the bottom of the page? I would like to prevent users from having to scroll down the webpage to see the bottom of the submenu, but I haven't been able to find a solution to this issue anywhere.

Thanks for any information that you can give me.

I'm not sure how to help without seeing your site.

Instead of using Spry, we use superfish on sites such as http://www.beckelectric.com" rel="nofollow - www.beckelectric.com and http://www.koolertek.com" rel="nofollow - www.koolertek.com .

I'm curious. Are your menus hand-coded, or are they generated via the store navigation?

Someone here may be able to coach you on what specifically to do, but one of the guys on my team has responded to similar requests in the past (causing the flyouts to go up instead of down when they are near the bottom) and we'd be very happy to assist if you'd like to engage us.

I created the current Index3.html page using the Spry Menu Widget 2.0 in Dreamweaver. My first attempt at creating this menu was using Sothink DHTML Menu but it did not work properly in ProductCart (however, it DID display the flyout above the fold line of the web page which I really liked). I noticed in a post here in the forum that Sothink may conflict with the Ajax found in ProductCart and it was suggested that I use Spry menu instead of Sothink, which is how I ended up with Spry. I can live with the functionality of the Spry if I have to but just wondered if anyone knew how to get around the page fold issue. I noticed that in the two links you sent me, the flyout also extended below the fold line, so maybe I'm just being too picky about this.
