Positioning a layer relative to a table

Question

Hi,
I've created a site based on a table that is centered in the
browser window.
I want to add a small layer to accommodate a dropdown menu -
which should be positioned just under one of the navbar buttons.
I know I need to somehow position the layer relative to the
table - but I'm really bad at code. Can anyone help?
(The navbar is actually a seperate file called 1nav.php that
is 'included' in the main file called 'template.php'. - in case
that makes a difference.)
You can see the site so far at:
www.mywebspinners.com/SR/template.php
Or just the navbar file at:
www.mywebspinners.com/SR/1nav.php
Thanks,
- Greg

This illustrates nicely some of the 'one-way' problems that
one can get into
by using only Design view (i.e., things that can happen that
you CANNOT get
yourself out of), and why it's always important to acquire
some familiarity
with HTML and CSS to work at all productively with
Dreamweaver (or any HTML
authoring system, for that matter).
Osgood beat me to the punch on his recommedation, and I think
it may be the
cause - but I'm waiting to see the results before posting
further.
