Javascript error

[prairiegirl]

I hope someone here can tell me what is wrong with my script. I created it with a little freebie tool, but my ISP says there is an error in my code. I am not a programmer, and do not know quite what to do about an error. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

[boojum]

is the error reffering to this part:


function BeforeStart(){return}

function AfterBuild(){return}

function BeforeFirstOpen(){return}

function AfterCloseAll(){return}


because i would think it should be:


function BeforeStart(){return};

function AfterBuild(){return};

function BeforeFirstOpen(){return};

function AfterCloseAll(){return};


though i cant say i understand its purpose

Thanks Boojum. I'll try your changes. I think perhaps those are extraneous lines. Like I said, this code was created with a little freebie code writer. It makes menus for you, and there are many different options. Perhaps these lines are just options that aren't being used? I have no idea, really.

I added the ; s but didn't help. The menu doesn't show. Any other ideas, let me know. The web is at:

It looks to me like the script it incomplete. Where did you get it from? Some of the variables are undefined and some of the functions that are needed aren't there. So, if you can't get the script again from somewhere, then I would just look for a different one. I've already found like 20 errors in it, and it still doesn't work... :)

Okay, Adam. Thank you, I will cease wasting my time.

Can anyone suggest a good drop down menu script? Where you mouse over and the next level just slides out nice and smooth, no clicking necessary? The ability to adjust whether it runs horizontally across the page or vertically along the edge would be lovely.

What would I do without you people?!?

Thank you Pyro, I will spend the afternoon messing with this. I promise/threaten to let you know how it goes. ;)

Michael Moncur has all the examples from his books on the site and there are a number of menu scripts:

NOTE: The http://www.jsworkshop.com/ site is for people who want to learn to program in JavaScript NOT for free scripts or requests for such. SO, if you want to learn ask your questions there, if you just want it to work differently pick up the free scripts and ask your questions here.

It works. I have to actually *mess* with it, it's not automated, but it works. :) Thanks, bud!

Thank you for all the links. I have no desire to unleash my intuitive/feeling self upon the javascripting community. Experience has made it crystal clear to me that I am not a programmer, but I do thank you for the tips. I shall continue to throw myself upon the mercy of those more adept than I.
