<!-- This code below HERE is what controls to position of the dropdown.

The position should be fairly close to where you need to place it.
You will probably nee to adjust it, and play with the numbers to get it exactaly where you need it.
To do that adjust the "left:____" & "top:____" numbers.  the numbers are setting the top left corner of the dropdown menu.  -->

is there any way to do it in 4.7?

not that I'm aware of. if you're writing asp or coldfusion or something like that, you could test for browser and use different verisons of the html depending on the browser accessing the file.

i do not know what the 2 *.js files do so i cannot help with them, but you can show hide div in 4.7

its a matter of testing for document.all,document.layers,document.getElementById

and also in NS4 you will have to ABSOLUTE position the div's

This

>>>function toggle(theDiv){
    var elem = document.getElementById(theDiv);
    elem.style.display = (elem.style.display == "none")? "" : "none";
}
<<<

Which looks like what i wrote, will work in NS6+ and IE5+

The 2 *.js files are for the rollovers.  I have the DIV position set to ABSOLUTE.  Can you explain further about the document.all ... etc..? i dont understand..

document.all = IE4

document.layers = NS4
 
document.getElementById = NS6+/IE5+/D O M

If you want this to work in NS4(which not alot of people use) then it can be done, you need to post your full source so we can then fix it the first time(hopefully).

In the upper code i do not see any div/layer name menuItems

What i pasted above was everything,  except the js files. the only thing that they do is give the *.gif ID names to reference for the rollover.
