Script: DD Floating Menu Script problem

[fishermansblues]

Script URL http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...staticmenu.htm

I am trying to add this functionality to my web page. I have placed the code immediately before the </body> tag as recommended, and instead of a menu, just inserted some regular text. The text does not float and appears right at the end of my page.
I suspect the problem is some conflict with the other div elements on the page but I am not sure exactly where to look. Briefly there are 5 divs, top, left, right, centre and footer. The css for these is as follows:
#top {
margin: 0px;
height: 75px;
text-align:left;
}
#left {
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
top: 100px;
width: 200px;
}
#right {
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
top: 90px;
width: 200px;
padding-left:2px;
}
#centre {
margin-top: 0;
margin-left: 220px;
margin-right: 220px;
}
#footer {
clear: both;
padding: 5px;
margin-top: 10px;
text-align:center;
font-size:x-small;
}

In the HTML for the page they are declared in the sequence Top, Left, Centre, Right and Footer.

Any help on this would be gratefully accepted.

Before worrying about that, try removing the DOCTYPE declaration from your page. A quick glance at the script in question suggests that it will not work on a page with almost any DOCTYPE.
