Switch Menu behaving two different ways on one page

**Shibari** · 06-01-2010, 12:28 AM

1) Switch Menu

2) http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...switchmenu.htm

3) I am using switch menu in a table setup for a page that we make to make the Internet easier for my mom and the left column of the menu opens only one drop down at a time where as the right one you can open all the drop downs and have to click them to make them close. I have no idea why it is working this way and prefer that they would both work like the left side.

I can basically play around with the things and eventually get most of it to do what I want as I go so I know it could all probably be "prettier" and probably a lot more practical but I just really want both sides to work like the left side.

Oh and sorry about the bright colors, I was bored.
Thanks!

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic script so we can check it out.

it isn't on a site, it is just a local file that gets set as a start page on my mom's pc.
i shoved it out to a free hosting site but the forms won't work on there, they work fine locally. the menus are still behaving as before. they are currently set up as separate "masterdiv" but i have tried also making the entire table one masterdiv and there was no difference. i have also tried numbering them sequentially from 1 and that didn't make a difference either.
