下面的东西显示了在复杂的情况下，
怎样最好地在一个Element的旁边显示某个DIV。
当然，你可以滚动窗口，使这个按纽靠窗口的 左/上/右/下 的情况，观察菜单的弹出方位。
全部代码:
<table border=1 cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td>table1</td><td>table1</td></tr>
<tr><td>table1</td><td>
<div id=div1 style='position:absolute;background-color:wheat;padding:4px;'>

<div id=div1button style='border:outset
2px;background-color:threedface;color:red;font-weight:bold;cursor:hand;padding:4px;'>

</div>
div1 end
