Slashdot Menu with rollover images

[DaveS]

1) Script Title: Slashdot Menu

2) Script URL (on DD): www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/slashdot.htm

3) Describe problem: I have put Slashdot Menu into a template and the pages produced with it work well, with the menu expanding and contracting properly. When I add a rollover image to any of the derived pages, however, the menu contracts and stays contracted until another page (without a rollover image) is opened. This is so for IE and Firefox. I am sure I must be making a well-known mistake; can someone tell me what it is please?

Thanks. Forgive my ignorance in these matters but do you mean put the rollover commands in a css?

DaveS, this is a bit of a long shot, but...
are your menus contracted by default? and do the pages that contain rollover images have a 'window.onload' event other than the one associated with sdmenu?

If so, it is probably that the second onload is preventing the sdmenu onload from executing.
You may need to have a single onload event load event call what the other onload events were.

Hi! I noticed the comments in this thread about using the slashdot.org menu that can be expanded. I have a requirement for one of our websites and was wondering if someone could explain how this script works and what i would need to do to implement it in our website.

The menus are contracted by default on the index page but not on any pages thereafter. The code for the rollover is:

<td><a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image2','','images/pic2.gif',1)"><img src="images/pic1.gif" width="500" height="297" border="0" id="Image2" /></a></td>

Any ideas?
