Question on how to use CSS positioning

[Kris]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anybody could help me with a positioning problem I
have.

I want to create a menu with a tab on the left side of a webpage. When
the page is loaded the menu is completely out of sight execept for the
tab. When a user clicks the tab the menu should scroll out to the
right. How can I get the tab to scroll along with the menu.

I am using 2 nested <DIV> elements. The first one is positioned
absolute the second one is postioned relative to the first one.

Is there something I am misunderstanding about css-p?

Thanks in advance,

Kris
