    The code example you provided is not complete. It includes javascript function calls and we don't have the functions to look at.

    I can tell right away that this code was generated from some program, most likely dreamweaver, and is a terrible way of creating a menu. It will be unusable to many visitors and ignored completely by the search engines.

    My advice is to always avoid popout or flyout menus, they can be very confusing. If you must use one find one that works with nested lists. You will also want it to only change the styles if javascript is enabled, this way everyone can use it.

    Posting a link to the site with the problem or posting the HTML here will help. It's hard to troubleshoot problems with no context. :)

    Peace...

    Thanks! First, you guys really need to fix your website. Hire a web designer or a webmaster to fix it, if necessary.

    Ok, on to the problem. This is one culprit:
    Code:
    <script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript" src="file:///C|/mm_menu.js"></script>
    You've got the same "file:///" protocol issue I advised someone about this website in this thread. This has bitten you guys here as well. The src="file:///C|/mm_menu.js" tells the browser to look on the local computer for the mm_menu.js file when the browser needs to fetch that file from the server. Changing that line, per my recommendations in that other thread, should solve the problem with the menu functions not being found (which is partly why the menu won't appear I think) but it will probably uncover other problems and issues that are still lurking.

    Good luck!

    Peace...

    That's cool. Read the other thread I linked to and get those "file:///" URL references cleaned up and things should start working much better for you. :)

    Good luck!
