Navigational Menu - how to delete a function?

[thundercode]

1) Script Title: Smooth Navigational Menu

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

3) Describe problem: Wanted to delete the Function with the arrows... It doesn't work and mixed up the whole code so I downloaded the js-script again. Then it worked normaly with the arrowfunction. But I still want to delete the arrowfunction. how to do this? deleting only the arrow pictures doesn't work. i think i have to do sth in the js?

[ddadmin]

To remove both the right and down arrows, find the below line inside the .js file:

		$curobj.children("a:eq(0)").css(this.istopheader? {paddingRight: smoothmenu.arrowimages.down[2]} : {}).append( //add arrow images
			'<img src="'+ (this.istopheader && setting.orientation!='v'? smoothmenu.arrowimages.down[1] : smoothmenu.arrowimages.right[1])
			+'" class="' + (this.istopheader && setting.orientation!='v'? smoothmenu.arrowimages.down[0] : smoothmenu.arrowimages.right[0])
			+ '" style="border:0;" />'
		)

and change that to just:

		$curobj.children("a:eq(0)").css(this.istopheader? {paddingRight: smoothmenu.arrowimages.down[2]} : {})

done. it doesen't show the arrows anymore! exactly what i want, but now the submenus don't open when i hover the menu...
do you need a screenshot?

[ddadmin]

That probably means you did something incorrect, resulting in the script not working altogether actually. Double check that you made the modification correctly, or post a link to the problem page if needed.

I checked it and didn't found anything. so I let a friend check it. He found nothing, too.
I uploaded it especially for you on bplaced (or for other who wants to help (please!))
Here you are: http://monstercarnival.bplaced.net/ (It's the part with 01.Home and so on... I changed the menus in pictures)

And I've got a question for an other post of me. How to close them and symbol it as solved?

[Schmoopy]

There's an extra bracket where it's not needed. You should get something like Firebug and it would show you where the errors in the script lie.

Take out the bracket on line 66, and the script works.

Here's just the whole thing so you can copy paste:

//** Script Download/ instructions page: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/ddlevelsmenu/
//** Menu created: Nov 12, 2008

//** Dec 12th, 08" (v1.01): Fixed Shadow issue when multiple LIs within the same UL (level) contain sub menus: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39177&highlight=smooth

//** Feb 11th, 09" (v1.02): The currently active main menu item (LI A) now gets a CSS class of ".selected", including sub menu items.

//** May 1st, 09" (v1.3):
//** 1) Now supports vertical (side bar) menu mode- set "orientation" to 'v'
//** 2) In IE6, shadows are now always disabled

//** July 27th, 09" (v1.31): Fixed bug so shadows can be disabled if desired.
