I am having trouble with a javascript menu dropdown that I got off the internet. I've altered it a little to fit my needs but I would like to do something that after taking many javascript classes, I can't figure out how.

I want to make the drop down menu item's font color green by default, and then on mouseover have the font turn YELLOW and the backgroun turn GREEN.

I've attached the code that I am developing the menu bars on.

Please help.

I am not very good at js but why can't you just use fontcolor(green), onmouseover="fontcolor(yellow)" and onmouseover="bgcolor(green)"

not sure if bgcolor is the right element in js

I assume you are designing that site from the ground up...

If so than I would use float instead of the tables as they are usually harder to work with.

Also you can make drop down menues with css let me find out how...

That doesnt work.... I tried it. These are javascript menus with arrays for each menu's values.

I would like to do it the way that i have it.... I want to do it with javascript. I've already got the site designed.... any idea on the javascript?

[MMJ]

can you give me the code you tried

[dbimen]

my code is posted here already.... i tried to insert: fontcolor(green) onmouseover="fontcolor(yellow)" onmouseover="bgcolor(green)" and it didnt work.... can you look at my code and see where it would work?

[MMJ]

of course that wouldn't work, I told you I don't think that was the right element for bg color...

wait i'll take another look...

[dbimen]

have you had any luck? I've been messing with this for a while now. Do you know any advanced java programmers that could help me solve this?

[dbimen]

can we move this thread to development? I need a javascript programmer to help.

Javascript isn't a programming language, it's a script language. This IS the right section

I agree that this is the right section as it IS web dev and nothing else but under the dev forum it says For Javascript...

as for your fix, how about changing the back ground?

The background colour goes green for me on both Internet Explorer and Firefox. Changing it can be done here:

#dropmenudiv a:hover{ /*hover background color*/

background-color: green;

}

Never thought of that, you're pretty good.
