[thelist] dom gives me a headache

thanks ben

that doesn't help, i don't want the mouse position, i want the position of
the image so that i can *place* the menus where i want -- underneath the
fixed images

i figured out what i was doing wrong with the syntax, i had to put the
alert script *after* the images in the source code, otherwise the image
objects weren't known yet

so, some measuer of progress, i guess

but now i'm getting nonsensical values for the image positions, like
,6  -- but the images are nowhere near the top left corner of the window

are offsetLeft and offsetTop relative to something?
