Website programming

Hi, im developing a website (very basic with js floating menu) in html. When ever i open a browser (IE) i get an active content blocker and i'm unable to see my menu bar. This is more of a browser protection function, but very irritating for UE. Need inputs on how can change code to avoid this for general hosting. Same code attached below..


My menu code is:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->
 
<!-- Begin
var isDOM = (document.getElementById ? true : false); 
var isIE4 = ((document.all && !isDOM) ? true : false);
var isNS4 = (document.layers ? true : false);

if (isDOM) return document.getElementById(id);
if (isIE4) return document.all[id];
if (isNS4) return document.layers[id];
}
function getSty(id) {
return (isNS4 ? getRef(id) : getRef(id).style);
} 
// Hide timeout.
var popTimer = 0;
// Array showing highlighted menu items.
var litNow = new Array();
function popOver(menuNum, itemNum) {
clearTimeout(popTimer);
hideAllBut(menuNum);
litNow = getTree(menuNum, itemNum);
changeCol(litNow, true);
targetNum = menu[menuNum][itemNum].target;
if (targetNum > 0) {
thisX = parseInt(menu[menuNum][0].ref.left) + parseInt(menu[menuNum][itemNum].ref.left);
thisY = parseInt(menu[menuNum][0].ref.top) + parseInt(menu[menuNum][itemNum].ref.top);

visibility = 'visible';
      }
   }
}
function popOut(menuNum, itemNum) {

else
popTimer = setTimeout('hideAllBut(0)', 500);
}
function getTree(menuNum, itemNum) {
 
// Array index is the menu number. The contents are null (if that menu is not a parent)
// or the item number in that menu that is an ancestor (to light it up).

Took this code years back from <!-- Web Site:  http://gusnz.cjb.net --> Not sure if this still exists. BTW the code complies and executes after we manually accept the security blocker popup.
Maybe time to pull that menu into this millenium :-)
suggestions / samples of other contemporary floating menus ?
Millions. However "floating menu" does not mean anything to me. Do you have a site we can visit to see what you mean?
code attached in txt file. Please convert to html and view.
