Hi all,

I'm working on a website where we're using the jquery.linkselect
plugin, and we're running into a situation where we have one of the
dropdown linkselect menus happening near the very bottom of the users'
window.  Imagine that we have a list of articles with abstracts,
authors, etc. running down the left hand side in a div which is set to
show a scrollbar if the results list gets long, and each article has a
linkselect dropdown menu.

Unexpectedly, if you've scrolled to the bottom of the scrolling div
and you're on the last item in the list, linkselect is allowing the
menu to drop down extending past the bottom of the scrolling div and
outside the boundary of the browser window.  This is problematic, as
it makes the menu items inaccessible.

We're looking for a way to have it automatically detect the bottom of
the screen and reposition the menu accordingly (similarly to the way
it does it to make sure it doesn't get positioned off the right hand
side of the screen).  I might be able to hack it, but was hoping maybe
the linkselect team might be able to put something in more quickly and
efficiently than I can.  :)

Alternately, a way to specify that a menu drops up rather than drops
down would also be a great solution to our situation (I didn't see
that in the options, though please let me know if I missed it).

Thanks in advance for any help,

--Sherri
