CSS Vertical Menu Problems...!!!

[wizkilo]

Hey guys, Im having a CSS Vertical Menu problem if anyone knows anything about it, please check it out and let me know what Im doing wrong...?

I found the script on here and it's supposed to be a "cop/Paste" thing....cuztomizable...so I just changed the font, color, and background pic...It works for the main menu part of it, but then I have a SUB menu (example...VIDEO has 3 different things WITHIN it..) that doesn't want to work!

here's where I got it from: http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/verticalmenu.shtml

and I copy pasted and changed a few things...but BOTH parts don't work, just one of them does!

here's THE SITE's SCRIPT:

The html is fine.

You don't have the javascript file on your site, so it just is doing what would make sense.

This path-- http://www.wizkilo.com/newsite/media/mediamenu/ssverticalmenu.js
should point to the file, according to your source code. But nothing is there, so nothing happens on the page.

Additionally, there are a couple things you could fix on the page:
1. The link (css reference) tag is invalid html, as it is self-closing, probably because the site you got this from was using xhtml. just remove the / from the end of the tag-- .... />
2. Using the / to start a link returns to the root of your site. That seems like a weird way to go about linking. It works, and it is relative, so it's easy to move pages around, but it seems like a real relative path would make more sense, just like "folder/file.htm". No big deal here, but might be worth looking at.
3. The picture is huge on the page, even on my large monitor. Seems excessive.
4. Using target="blank" also seems weird, since navigation should open in the same window. I hate sites that open up repeatedly all the time and then I end up with 4 windows from a single site and I don't want any but the one I'm in. Consider whether or not you really need this.

hey, it works now! thanx... I also tried the Horizontal one, and I guess I had the same problem...but now I fixed it and it looks and works just fine (I chose the Horizontal)

for the _Blank thing...dont worry, it's supposed to open in an iframe, that I have yet to fix up, cuz I want to still fix the content before I put it up...

Thanx, it's very appriciated!
