hi all....

i have a dynamic menu running...

a submenu (say a,b,c are the items) pops up on mouseover of an anchor(say Mn1)..

then on mouseover of the item(a) another submenu(say with items 1,2,3) should be popped up....

for the previous submenu(the one with the items a,b,c) to popup i called popup() function from anchors ( named Mn1) onmouseover event...it is working...

but now for the submenu(with items 1,2,3) what function should i use....

because popup() is not working in aI() and i also tried itemOn() keeping it in another function and called it from aI() using onFunction property....

but nothing is working...

so plz help me out.........

Hi,

Not trying to be a snot here, but you say 5.7. The latest version is 5.751, which would put you way down level. If you are really running 5.7 you must upgrade before we can continue.

OK, given http://www.west.asu.edu/sa/testsite/, which is your code with no changes, what exactly is not working?

hi john...,,

thanks a lot for your response...and for the test site..

john..,when i was posting the previous message i dint exactly remember the version.i just remembered it is some 5.7+....sorry for that...the milonic version i am using is 5.751.

coming to the problem.. , the problem is when i go to the submenus for the first time the submenus items are not loading.. but after that when i go to it second time...it is loading..i checked it by reloading the page...whenever i go to submenu item(mouseover on it) there is no response...but when i mouse out and mouseover it again then i get it...

hope you got my point....

the other thing i want to say is, the same code is giving a space between the anchor and the submenu in IE..its working fine in Mozilla firefox
