View Full Version : Drop down menus not working...

I had a problem earlier with my menus not appearing in Mozilla. I switched to different menus that now show up in both IE and Mozilla but they are not working. When I select a website from any menu and click "Go", nothing happens. Very weird. Here is the page if anyone can suggest anything:

http://warlike.ms11.net/mglinks.html

Someone at another site told me it was:

"Error: document.form.site has no properties
Source File: http://warlike.ms11.net/mglinks.html
Line: 19"

Which is around here:

"<!-- Begin
function formHandler(form){
var URL = document.form.site.options[document.form.site.selectedIndex].value;
window.location.href = URL;
// End -->"


Also, the menu script actually works! before I make changes to font size and colors and ad my own links. Go figure. But in regards to the line the person pointed out, what kind properties are missing? I've never seen that particuliar line of code before and am not sure what to put there to make the menus work. Is it looking for a url? I just want to put in the standard data to get the menus functional. Thanks.

The page now validates, except, of course, for the embed element.
If you want complete validation you would need to consider using the Satay Method for flash.

Hi mike444

No that was not the problem. The problem was with the script, as you were told at another site.
I just corrected a few other unrelated coding errors on the way. :)
