Thanks to some really great help from this forum my new menu is almost up and running, there only seems to be one thing im having a problem with
on my main page at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steve.peto/movies/dvd.html the menu appears at the top fine, however the page is supposed to appear at the top of all the pages that are to do with DVDs.
so for example, you may go to dvd movies>dvd have>0-9>8 mile and there shold be a menu at the top.
the only thing i can thin kof is that there is an extra directory, which i have put in bold above and that me be affecting the way the menu displays
can someone please advise

That's exactly the problem. Your JS calls are wrong. You have...
Code:
<script language=JavaScript src="../movies/milonic_src.js" type=text/javascript></script>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=../movies/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=../movies/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<script language=JavaScript src="../movies/menu_data.js" type=text/javascript></script>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=../movies/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=../movies/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<script language=JavaScript src="../movies/menu_data.js" type=text/javascript></script>
This is relative addressing - relative to where I am now in the site. When you throw an extra directory in there, /movies/ is no longer one directory up, as you are saying above.
You need server-relative addressing; i.e., always start looking for my directory from the root level, regardless of where I am in the site...
Code:
<scriptlanguage="Javascript" src="/steve.peto/movies/milonic_src.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="Javascript">
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=Javascript src=/steve.peto/movies/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=Javascript src=/steve.peto/movies/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<script language="Javascript" src="/steve.peto/movies/menu_data.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="Javascript">
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=Javascript src=/steve.peto/movies/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=Javascript src=/steve.peto/movies/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<script language="Javascript" src="/steve.peto/movies/menu_data.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

ive tried the /steve.peto/movies/** and i dont get any menu at all. if i have it set as ../movies/** i get menus on the pages which are in the same directory as the 4 java files.
the film files are in another directory and i cant see the menus in them at all, although in dreamweaver i get the 3 yellow icons to indicate javascript in coded on the page
for example, the pages that do have a menu showing are
root
movies
dvd.html & dvd_have.html and dvd_want.html. the 4 JS files are also in this directory
the individual movie pages are at
root
movies
dvd_have
and these do not have the menu
