I am attempting to created a drop down menu. I cannot get the dropdown to work. It appears the js.file is not being called, but not sure why.



<div id="glowmenu" class="glowingtabs">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php" title="Home"><span>HOME</span></a></li>
<li><a href="about.php" title="About Us"><span>ABOUT US</span></a></li>
<li><a href="contact.php" title="Contact Us"><span>CONTACT US</span></a></li>
<li><a href="testimonials.php" title="Testimonials"><span>TESTIMONIALS</span></a></li>
<li><a href="products.php" title="Products" rel="product"><span>PRODUCTS</span></a>

</li>
</ul>
</div>
<br style="clear: left;" />
<br class="IEonlybr" />

<!--Product drop down menu -->
<div id="product" class="dropmenudiv">
<a href="washer.php">Washer</a>
<a href="dryer.php">Dryers</a>
<a href="refrigerator.php">Refrigerator</a>
<a href="dishwasher.php">Dishwasher</a>
<a href="wdcombos.php">Washer/Dryer Combo</a>
</div>

It works if you correct this line of code:
tabdropdown.init("glowmenu" "auto")
with this one
tabdropdown.init("glowmenu", "auto")
