Understanding of script

[averagecdn]

1) Script Title: AnyLink Drop Down Menu

2) Script URL (on DD):

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/dropmenuindex.htm

3) Describe problem: I have implemented this menu system on my companies Intranet however I am trying to understand a section of this script. What does the <a href="default.htm".....> do. Is it required or what?

<a href="default.htm" onClick="return clickreturnvalue()" onMouseover="dropdownmenu(this, event, menu1, '150px')" onMouseout="delayhidemenu()">Web Design</a> |

Thanks for the assistance.

If you mean "default.htm", that's just a page you should specify to fall back on in the event the visitors has JavaScript disabled. In that case, clicking on the link will navigate to "default.htm", instead of drop down the menu.

So then its not totally required.

Of course it is, otherwise visitors without Javascript won't be able to navigate through your site.

Always having a backup wouldn't hurt :p

Everyone in our environment is able to use java. No reason for a back solution

Java's got nothing to do with it.
