    Angry AnyLink Dop Down Menu Question

    I am using IE version 6
    Script: AnyLink Drop Down Menu
    http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...pmenuindex.htm

    This is my first time on the forums. I have followed the directions for the AnyLink Drop Down Menu, but it does not work. Does anyone have any ideas why this isnt working? Anything would be appreciated, its really been frustrating. I did everything i thought of, and still nothing worked. It keeps saying that there is an error on the page. I even compared my script to the script of another page i know whith a dropdown menu made by Dynamic Drive, they are almost exactly the same, and yet there are errors for mine, while the other page's works perfectly. Maybe its a problem with my browser. Again, any help would be appreciated. If it helps, it says the error is that "menu1" is undefined.

    here is the code (javascript and css) along with the only link i made so far if it helps:
    Code:
    <style type="text/css">
    
    #dropmenudiv{
    position:absolute;
    border:1px solid black;
    border-bottom-width: 0;
    font:normal 12px Verdana;
    line-height:18px;
    z-index:100;
    }
    
    #dropmenudiv a{
    width: 100%;
    display: block;
    text-indent: 3px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
    padding: 1px 0;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: bold;
    }
    
    #dropmenudiv a:hover{ /*hover background color*/
    background-color: yellow;
    }
    
    </style>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">

    You have double quotation marks instead of singles which could possably be the problem.

    You have:
    menu1[0]="<a href="instructions.html">Learn How To Play</a>"
    menu1[1]="<a href="catgame1.swf">Download The Updated Version <b>Free</b></a>"
    menu1[2]="<a href='instructions.doc'>Download The Instructions as a Mirosoft Word Document"</a>"

    Change to this
    menu1[0]='<a href="instructions.html">Learn How To Play</a>'
    menu1[1]='<a href="catgame1.swf">Download The Updated Version <b>Free</b></a>'
    menu1[2]='<a href='instructions.doc'>Download The Instructions as a Mirosoft Word Document"</a>'
