Proper place for menu Callout

[IBACFII]

I am trying to have a menu callout after a user mouses over a specific part on my table that is being presented. This Works. However it covers a portion of the table which is fine for one table but when a new set of data is displayed this is no longer the case Here is a copy of my JS

function getAnchorPosition(anchorname)
{


var useWindow=false;
var coordinates=new Object();
var x=0,y=0;

var use_gebi=false, use_css=false, use_layers=false;
if (document.getElementById) { use_gebi=true; }
else if (document.all) { use_css=true; }
else if (document.layers) { use_layers=true; }

if (use_gebi && document.all)
{
x=AnchorPosition_getPageOffsetLeft(document.all[anchorname]);
y=AnchorPosition_getPageOffsetTop(document.all[anchorname]);
}
else if (use_gebi)
{

var o=document.getElementById(anchorname);
x=AnchorPosition_getPageOffsetLeft(o);
y=AnchorPosition_getPageOffsetTop(o);

}

}

coordinates.x=x;

{

var ol=el.offsetLeft;

return ol;
}

function AnchorPosition_getWindowOffsetLeft (el)
{
return AnchorPosition_getPageOffsetLeft(el)-document.body.scrollLeft;
}

function AnchorPosition_getPageOffsetTop (el)
{
var ot=el.offsetTop;
while((el=el.offsetParent) != null) { ot += el.offsetTop; }
return ot;
}

function AnchorPosition_getWindowOffsetTop (el)
{
return AnchorPosition_getPageOffsetTop(el)-document.body.scrollTop;
}

var mhTop;
var posi;
var initalCaller;
var timer1;
var holder;


function mh_showmenu(caller)
{
var posi;
var initcaller;
posi=getAnchorPosition(caller);
document.all.mh_menu.style.posTop=posi.y;
document.all.mh_menu.style.posLeft=posi.x+150;
document.all.mh_menu.style.visibility="visible";
initalCaller=caller;
holder=1;
return initalCaller;
}

function mh_hidemenu()
{
holder=0;
setTimeout("sc_hidemenu()",1000);
}

function sc_hidemenu()
{
if (holder==0)
{document.all.mh_menu.style.visibility="hidden";}

}

function sc_holdmenu()
{
holder=1;
document.all.mh_menu.style.visibility="visible";
}

function sc_init()
{
holder=0;
sc_hidemenu();
}

function sc_click(caller)
{
var mymessage;
mymessage="";
mymessage=caller + ":" + initalCaller;
__doPostBack("DD",mymessage);
}

Any Ideas on how to make it "next cell" sensitive?
