If there is one thing that computer users are familiar with it is the "drop down" or "fly out" menu system. This is also sometimes referred to as a "cascading menu" system. We see this particularly in operating system interfaces, and Microsoft applications such as the menu bar in Word. in this self-contained article, Tom shows you how to build a DHTML 2 level cascade (deep enough for most web menus) that you can use for your own sites.
This tutorial was promising at first. Tom explained the compatability limitations up front which was fine with me since I only needed help creating a menu for an intranet consisting of pcs using IE6. I followed along through the tutorial writing my own .htm, .css, and .js pages.
Of course it didn't work. When I finally gave up trying to fix it, I scrapped all the files and just copied the entire source provided by Tom in the tutorial. The problem continued:
Line: 40
Char: 1
Error: 'finalCloseTime' is undefined
I then tried placing all the js and css in the same page as the html. Didn't work...
I'm pretty upset that I purchased this document hoping to find help where I didn't find it elsewhere then being completely let down.
Thank you for your quick reply Tom. I was able to find a break where there shouldn't be. It works beautifuly now!
What can be done to this script to make it compatable with other browsers as well. (I don't have a need for the compatability, but am curious....Firefox and older versions of IE)

Need to create all kind of great web site navigation menus? Cascading Drop down Menus, Mega Menus, Popup or Context Menus. Menus that have great display animations, are CSS based and fully cross browser compatible, which makes them search engine friendly?
