JavaScript - UC Presence inSharePoint 2008 WP

Using the following line in a SharePoint webpart for UC presence to show up. I get the presence status but not the menu. I see that this is probably an IE8 issue which is not officially supported by MOSS 2007.

<span>
<img border="0" valign="middle" height="12" width="12" src="/_layouts/images/imnhdr.gif" mce_src="/_layouts/images/imnhdr.gif" onload ="IMNRC('SomeName@whatever.com')" id="{generate-id()}" ShowOfflinePawn="1"/>
<img src="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" mce_src="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" width="5"/>
</span>

The presence indicator shows up great - however when I hover over it,rather than displaying a menu as I would hope, another image appears about an inch higher on the page. It seems that the onhover event is placing the rollover image (which controls the menu) too high so it becomes unusable.

I saw a suggestionon a different forum that said to add the following to the end of the IMNGetOOUILocation(obj) function in init.js but it had no effect:

objRet.oouiX=oouiX - document.body.parentNode.scrollLeft;
objRet.oouiY=oouiY - document.body.parentNode.scrollTop;

Any suggestions?



Thanks!
