Help with implementing jQuery Gooey Menu into navbar

[Emeralda]

Script: jQuery Gooey Menu
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/gooeymenu.htm

Well, I can't seem to properly implement that code into the navigation bar on my site, and since I'm quite html illiterate unless I see a ready example I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong:

I put the scripts in headinclude as well, but yeah, I have no idea what's wrong >.<

[ddadmin]

It's hard to tell just based on the raw template code you posted, since some of that code changes when vBulletin actually outputs it on the browser. What you should do is view source on the modified page and copy the HTML markup that pertains to the Gooey Menu here...

[Emeralda]

After some changes to Advnaced New Posts template it isn't as buggy, but for some reason it looks like a column still, and it adds those nasty dots in front. By the way, could those <li> tags be each in separate <td>? And does it have to be <li> only? I would catch you on MSN, since it would be easier, but yeah >.<
