I am using a context menu as a "drop down button" where I tell the menu to showAt() a specific position. The problem is that if the menu is close to the bottom of the page, it will ignore my y coordinate and display itself further up the page (still keeping the x coordinate I supplied). It appears to be doing this in order to make sure the entire menu is visible in the window. Is there a setting or anything to prevent this behavior? I would like it to display where I tell it to...even if it expands the page downward.

    
            function showContextMenu(e,controlId,menuId){ 
        
                        var control = document.getElementById(controlId); 
        
                        var contextMenu = $find(menuId); 
        
                        var pos; 
        
                        pos = getControlPosition(controlId); 
        
                        contextMenu.showAt((pos.x + control.offsetWidth), (pos.y)); 
        
                        $telerik.cancelRawEvent(e); 
        
                    } 
        
                    function getControlPosition(elementId) { 
        
                        var element = document.getElementById(elementId); 
        
                        var left = 0; 
        
                        var top = 0; 
        
                        if (element != null) 
        
                        { 
        
                            // Try because sometimes errors on offsetParent after DOM changes. 
        
                            try 
        
                            { 
        
                                do { 
        
                                    element = element.offsetParent; 
        
                                    left += element.offsetLeft; 
        
                                    top += element.offsetTop; 
        
                                    if (element != document.body && element != document.documentElement){ 
        
                                        top -= element.scrollTop; 
        
                                        left -= element.scrollLeft; 
        
                                    }   
        
                                    if(element.style.overflow != '' || element.style.overflowX != '' || element.style.overflowY != ''){break;} 
        
                                    } while(element.tagName!='BODY'); 
        
                            } 
        
                            catch (e) 
        
                            { 
        
                                // Do nothing 
        
                                alert('error'); 
        
                            } 
        
                        } 
        
                        return {x:left, y:top}; 
        
                    }
