Hi, I'm having problems with using your website www.stylusstudio.com.
I can't actually use the navigation correctly as there appears to be javascript issues..

Line 32 char 1 - object doesn't support this property or method
Line 136 char 2 - object doesn't support this property or method

Which causes all the navigation drop downs to be fully expanded rather than hidden.
My setup is Windows 2000 using IE5.5 sp2

Could you advise, thanks

It works on IE 6 and current versions of Mozilla. Can you
update? If not, does the error message give any file names?
I looked at the code on our web server, but I can't find any
correlation between the line numbers you gave and the source
as it sits here.

Thanks for the reply.

Although I could upgrade, this would suggest that your site only supports IE6 and above.
Due to the work I do covering a variety of browsers for support of websites IE5 and above I don't really want to upgrade yet.

I have managed to trap some information for you. The following was highlighted by microsoft debugger..
<script language="JavaScript1.2">getRef("menuLinks").attributes["class"].value = "menuHide";

Line 29 & 136 "object doesn't support this property. I have tried IE 5.01 and this also fails.
Would suggest that the issue is contained within?

Attached is a screenshot of what the browser sees...

Look forward to hearing from you.

Besides IE6, we do support Mozilla.
But the menus require a certain level of CSS support, so that the
class of a <TABLE> element can be changed. I am not aware of how
to do that, except by the mechanism we are using, which
unfortunately does not work with IE5. If you have a suggestion,
I would be happy to try it.
