Drop Down Position

[timmah1]

I have a marquee, and when you roll-over the photo in the marquee, it drops down more information about that photo.

The problem I'm having is the position of the drop down, I need it to show directly below the photo, but it's showing to the right, sometimes off screen.

 

Can anybody help me out with this? I'm not very familiar with javascript

 

<a href="http://www.thehoneypotclub.com/" id="searchlink" rel="subcontent"><img src="escorts/<?php echo $row1['SampleOne']; ?>" height="110"></a>
<DIV id="subcontent" style="position:absolute; visibility: hidden; border: 9px solid orange; background-color: white; width: 150px; padding: 8px; z-index:1;">
<p><b><?php echo $myrow2['EscortName']; ?> Details</b></p>
<ul>
<li><?php echo $myrow2['EscortName']; ?></li>
<li><?php echo $myrow2['Age']; ?></li>
<li>£<?php echo $myrow2['priceperhour']; ?></li>
<li><a href="index.php?cid=profile&EscortID=<?php echo $myrow2['id']; ?>">View Full Profile</a></li>
</ul>
</DIV>
<script type="text/javascript">
//Call dropdowncontent.init(anchorID, positionString, glideduration) at the end of the page:
dropdowncontent.init("searchlink", "left-bottom", 500)
</script>

 

It calls this script in the header

var dropdowncontent={
delaybeforehide: 100, //set delay in milliseconds before content box disappears onMouseout (1000=1 sec)
disableanchorlink: true, //when user clicks on anchor link, should it be disabled?
