I would strongly recommend that you not bother with dHTML drop-down menus unless you're willing to put up with a lot of problems. And that goes for anyone.

practice makes near perfect

maybe stick to the old one until you can get the hang of this new one. Maybe learn the basics of javascript so you know whats happening where and why.
It is better to know why problems are happening when/if they happen or trying to fix them can become a nightmare. then again you can get similar results on a bad hair day

You guys know that I am pretty bad at this web-design stuff! Would you recommend me doing this navigation or not? Just sticking to the old one?

i created a drop down nav bar (dynamic) using javascript...long and complicated, but works nice

To be honest, I didn't look at the html either. I just did now and wish that I hadn't Yowza - good ol macromedia.

Timewell - you obviously *will* have to upload the images and .js files for this to work. Word of caution: Your script calls the images from the root meaning that if you put them all in an images folder (which is conventional) it still won't work. Upload your images as well as the .js file as I explained earlier except that it needs to remain named "mm_menu.js" unless you want to edit that in your html.

I haven't uploaded the images or the mm_menus file...

THat's because Timewell doesn't seem to have uploaded the mm_menus.js file that is required to run this menu. Either that or the js link isn't pointing to the right place.

I'm getting javascript runtime errors here..

I'll try one more time:

There are three parts to this script - two javascript sections and an HTML section. Fireworks has created all of this for you. There should be a javscript file called mm_menus.js and an HTML file (which you linked to above). All you really have to do is copy and paste these parts from the HTML file it created into your own HTML file.

WOW! That is one long confusing and long post!

Did I say long?

Can you post a short summary please because I am confused now!
