Hi,
hate even asking what will no doubt be a very easy question but I can't see whats wrong.
trying to get my sub nav to fly out "upwards" instead of "downwards". downwards works perfect. I tried adding left and bottom values, and in dreamweaver my nav bar looks right, but when I run it, it all goes wrong

I'd post a link but have no development server access at the moment.
if you remove the lines i have commented, this works fine for a "drop-down" menu..but I would like a "drop-UP" menu instead.
thanks!
