AnyLink Vertical Menu problems firefox chrome

[cadillacwd]

1) Script Title: AnyLink Vertical Menu

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nkvertical.htm

3) Describe problem:
visit problem at: http://www.deapa.com/pphc/

it works fine in ie. In firefox and chrome it does not seem to work properly. When I move down the menu the flyout stays in the same position. I think the problem is in the getoffsetpost function. In tests it always returns the same value in the problem browsers.

the javascript is here [

Try moving the onMouseover/ onMouseout event handlers inside your menu items from the LI to the A element:

		<ul class="avmenu">
			<li><a class="current" href="http://www.deapa.com/pphc/index.php">Home</a></li>
			<li ><a href="http://www.deapa.com/pphc/program.php" onmouseover="dropdownmenu(this, event, menu1, '165px')" onmouseout="delayhidemenu()">Program Work</a>
</li>
etc
etc

Wow! yes it worked!

I thought I had tried that.

I always use your scripts, I have tried others they never work as advertised. Your scripts always work.

Thank You
