Netscape woes...please help!

The menu is working perfectly in IE, but is not appearing in Netscape 6.2.

I am using this in the header:

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="menu_array.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="mmenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

And this in the body:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="161"><a href="index2.htm"><img src="images/logobottom.gif" width="161" height="20" border="0" alt="Logo"></a></td>
<td width="20"><img src="images/menuleftedge.gif" border="0"></td>
<td background="images/menupattern.gif"><script>PlaceMenu("mainmenu")</script> </td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks!

Netscape sucks, doesn't it? Have you tried putting the menu it's own table within the table?

<table><tr><td><table><tr><td><script>PlaceMenu("mainmenu")</script> </td></tr></table></td></tr></table>

I believe users have discovered that with NN the menu likes to be the only thing in a table.

Good idea, but it still doesn't work...

What about putting the calls to the array and code files in the body instead of the head?

Well, that's weird.

After trying sbueffel's second suggestion, the menu is generating an error in IE (works fine, but there's a pop up error that says "Stack overflow at line: 487".

And, here's the weird part...

In Netscape, I only get the last item on the menu. That button does not have a drop down, so I can't tell if it's working or not...

Any ideas?

The stack overflow...I remember getting that...why does that happen?....I thought it has to do with the load order. Make sure you call the menu before you actually load it in the table. I'll go look....

It's because you are calling the menu more than once. You still have to take it out of the head.

Ick. You were right...it was because I forgot to delete the script from the header. When I did that, the error stopped, but the menu disappeared in IE too! Dang!

I put it back the way it was. Darn it! Now I don't know what to do!
