Question

Making Drop-Down Text Drop Up

Hello, all.

Easy question with hopefully an easy answer.

Is there a way to make the drop-down text appear above the linked text instead of below? In other words, can I turn it into drop-up text?

Thanks.

Sure, flip the screen 180 degrees. Sorry but there's no way I have seen posted. On the usability front, it is not something I have seen anywhere and the usual advice is not to go against established conventions. That however is your call.

I guess it could be done but would require editing the supplied javascript files.

Peter-

That's the answer I suspected (but not the one I hoped for). For what it's worth, I agree with your advice about sticking with conventions but this is one of those outside cases where the other way makes sense. I have an image inside a frame that's at the bottom of a window. In this case, dropping down works but "dropping up" would probably look better.
