Drop down menu problem

I have manage to create one drop down menu on the front page of my site, with the help of various guys here.

http://www.thatsmystub.com/

The drop down works perfectly for the 'LINKS' section on this page but I have copied the exact same script etc over to generate another drop down link on the 'STUBS ARCHIVE' button but no matter what I do I can't seem to get it to work.

Would very much appreciate if someone could help me out.

Many thanks
Remsteen.

I would suggest dropping the technique your using. Check out google and search for "java script drop down menu" lots of free ones and they work really good!

CSS is, by far, the best method for dropdowns, it's clean, it's accessible, and works even if JS is turned off.

Ok, the problem with your dropdown in IE is that IE 6 and below can only use the hover pseudo-class on <a> tags, it will not work on anything else w/o help. So, the generally accepted method is a bit of script called whatever-hover and you can find it here:

The bit of script is called in your CSS file via the behavior rule, so you don't have a bunch of script coding mucking up your markup.

LadynRed is correct again -- especially if you know the difference between JS and CSS and how to code properly in both.
