my site. When I call it just for the rest of my site the links in my menu
stops working. I'll get a "_gm" is null or not an object when using the menu. I have no coding experience worth mentioning and it feels like I'm stuck right now
I do think it's a conflict with either mmenudom.js ormmenuns4.js. I have not yet tried to implement it in the menu. Is it even possible? The fader script is well known, but I'll send it along and hope that someone has the skill and the time to look it over! Or maybe there's
an easier way to accomplish this effect in the menu?

// DELETE COMMENTS THAT START WITH // TO MAKE THE FILE SIZE SMALLER.
// This script will no longer overwrite your current onmouseover and
// onmouseout attributes - it will instead skip those links. If you would
// still like to fade them, add findLink(this.id) to your onmouseover
// and clearFade() to your onmouseout, like so -
// <a href="#" onmouseover="findLink(this.id); yourFunction()"
// onmouseout="clearFade(); yourSecondFunction()">
// Make sure to put it BEFORE any "return" statements otherwise
// the fade will not execute.
// Fade-to colour without the # (6 character value only!)
var fadeTo = "ffaa22";
// Fade in colour increment/decrement by
var fiBy = 6;
// Fade out colour increment/decrement by
var foBy = 10;
// Speed - milliseconds between each colour change in the fade
// Less than 10ms doesn't really make all that much difference, so
// 10 is the minimum effective value.
var speed = 10;
// Class name of links to NOT fade (i.e. ignore)
// var ignoreClass = "somebogusvalue" if you don't want to
// use this feature. Alternatively, add onmouseover="clearFade()"
// to the link you do not wish to fade.
var ignoreClass = "ignore";
// No more changes required (unless you know what you are doing)
// Enjoy... and email me and let me know what site(s) you are using it on
