Position of SubMenus in Netscape 7
Using N7, the submenus always show in the same place on the page. So if you have not scrolled down on the page it looks fine. If you scroll down the page the submenu appear as far away from the main menu as you have scrolled down.

The version 3 menu that I an using does not do that. The submenus appear right next to the menu where I want them.

The Milonic sample vertical menu has the same problem.

Looking at the v5 link in Safari85.5, NS7.1, and IE5.2.3 (all Mac), I see exactly the same thing in all 3 browsers...
1. ALL sub-menus open exactly where they should, right next to their respective main menu items.
2. The entire menu is 6px from the top of the window (where you told it to be), but your logo graphic is pushed flush left so the menu overlays it.
Suggestion - be extremely careful when editing with FrontPage. It has a nasty habit of doing bad things to the code without telling you, and down the path you go.

Yep... vertical menus are definitely hosed in NS7 (I tried with NS7.0/Win2k). The fact that the vertical sample (sample 2) on the milonic site has the same problem tells us that it's not necessarily Jeanne's implementation causing it. If you download the horizontal sample, switch it to vertical, then display it locally in NS7, you get the same problem. All evidence suggests a bug.

Scroll Down the test page a bit
The V5 page is just a test page that I am using to get the menu looking right. I'm not trying to get the layout right, just looking at how the menu behaves with my blank template page so I can drop it into my other pages.
I don't use Frontpage to edit any .js files. I use Wordpad.
Just to make sure that you are seeing the problem, take a look at the vertical sample linked in the above post. Scroll down the page a bit (say so you cannot see the login button) and then hover over the menu to see the submenus. They appear down the page. They are only in the correct position when the page is scrolled to the top.

OK, NS7.1 is now showing the failure you point out (on Windoze). My testing last night was on Mac. While it's a better system, browsers there tend to be more picky and show errors first. This is the second instance today where it's been the other way around - Mac works, Windoze fails.
I was just going by the editor meta I saw in your code. What I said still holds.jeanne@jardinediapers.com wrote:I don't use Frontpage to edit any .js files. I use Wordpad.

Still the same
I downloaded the new file and put all of the new .js files except menu_data.js into my site. I reloaded the page and still see the same problem with the submenus not showing up in the right place.
It still looks the same on the milonic sample 2 page as well.
Do I need to do anything to the menu_data file?

I cleared the cache and still see the problem.
The version you want is Version 5.0 Release Candidate 15.0 Built: Monday October 6 2003 - 18:16
The version that was 22:13 needs to be scrapped as it wasn't quite ready.
Took a while to figure out why it was in the future too, even though the date on the server was correct. Turns out you have to restart Apache when you change the server date. Never knew that till now
