Hey guys,

Completely new to HTML and Javascript but I thought I would give it a try. I am trying to display a menu whenever someone moves thier mouse over an image or text. I downloaded some Java menus but I can't seem to get the stuff to work correctly.

this is the code as I currently have it.

<html>


<head>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Language&quot; content=&quot;en-us&quot;>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=unicode&quot;>
<meta name=&quot;GENERATOR&quot; content=&quot;Microsoft FrontPage 4.0&quot; >
<meta name=&quot;ProgId&quot; content=&quot;FrontPage.Editor.Document&quot;>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot; SRC=&quot;../html/menu/menu.js&quot;></SCRIPT>
<script language =&quot;Javascript1.2&quot; src=&quot;../html/menu/menu_api.js&quot;></script>
<script language = &quot;Javascript1.2&quot; src=&quot;../html/menu/mymenus.js&quot;></script>


</head>
<body onload=&quot;window.showMenu(myMenu);&quot;>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
<!--

var myMenu = new Menu();
myMenu.addMenuItem(&quot;My menu item A&quot;);
myMenu.addMenuItem(&quot;my menu item B&quot;);
myMenu.addMenuItem(&quot;my menu item C&quot;);
myMenu.addMenuItem(&quot;my menu item D&quot;);
myMenu.writeMenus();

</SCRIPT>




<A href=window.showMenu(myMenu); title=&quot;What the stuff&quot;; onmouseover =&quot;window.showMenu(myMenu);&quot;>display myMenu</A>

<P></P>
</body>

</html>

when run this way the menu pops up as soon as the page loads, which I do not want.
If I remove the the <body onload=......> statement I get an error.--'myMenu' undefined.

any assistance is greatly appreciated,

SalShaikh,

I downloaded them from the internet. I can send you the files, but as far as posting the script: A> I don't think I can, B> I don't know how, and C> I don't have anything related to Java software on my computer.

I remedied the problem by replacing the showMenu(myMenu) statement with &quot;window.hideMenu(myMenu);&quot; to the <body onload> statement(tag)

Thank you for your response.

Hi, this where u got the script from right?? Well, I used tha script last year and had disastrous results, to begin with it crashed the NS4 and IE5.5 browsers on every testing phase...
I would not recommened it...if you need a menu like that (and one tha works great) email me and I can email u a script tha I use now...or, you can go to Hope I hlped ya... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
