Hi!

I have this menu that works really good, but i want it to do one thing:
When a submenu is open, and I click a new link (not in the same submenu) i want the open submenu to close again.

I'm not at all good at js so i reallt would appreciate som help.

The code looks like this:

<SCRIPT>
function menu(obj) {
if(obj.style.display=='none')
{
obj.style.display=''
}
else obj.style.display='none'
}
</SCRIPT>

and body looks like this:

<a href="../public/start.htm">Hem</a><br>
<a href="../public/foretaget.htm">Företaget</a><br>
<SPAN OnClick="menu(tjanster)">
<a href="../public/tjanster.htm">Tjänster</a></SPAN><br>
<SPAN STYLE="display: none" ID="tjanster">
<a href="../public/webdesign.htm">Webdesign</a><br>
<a href="../public/positionering.htm">Positionering</a><br>
<a href="../public/webshop.htm">Webshop</a><br>
</SPAN>
<SPAN OnClick="menu(simple)">
<a href="../public/simpleupdate.htm">SimpleUpdate</a>
</SPAN><br>
<SPAN STYLE="display: none" ID="simple">
<a href="../public/demo.htm">Demo</a><br>
<a href="../public/kop.htm">Köp</a><br>
</SPAN>
<SPAN OnClick="menu(referenser)">
<a href="../public/referenser.htm">Referenser</a>
</SPAN><br>
<SPAN STYLE="display: none" ID="referenser">
<a href="../public/referenser_web.htm" target="main">Webdesign</a><br>
<a href="../public/referenser_partners.htm">Partners</a>
<br></SPAN>
<a href="../public/kontakt.htm">Kontakt</a><br>
<a href="../public/support.htm">Support</a><br>
<a href="../public/jobb.htm" target="main">Jobb</a>

So, if i click the link <a href="../public/tjanster.htm">Tjänster</a> the submenu opens, and i want it to close if i click another link in the menu, but not in the submenu that is open.

Please help me....

Thanks in advance

The menu link is only opened if JavaScript is not used.
<a> in <span> not valid
special characters to entities
target is not valid here, but depends on the DTD used
I won't answer the same thread on the other forum

Change your DTD to:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

or read this (http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/834/)
