designer seeking help with javascript menu

Mar 26th, 2008

I'm a graphic designer with very little HTML knowledge who has inherited the maintenance of non-profit agency's website. They have javascript drop-down menus as the part of their main navigation. Up until now, I've only had to change the text or change the size of the menus. But now, they've asked me to add a new menu to one of the buttons. I was hoping it would be simple "copy & paste" of the following code to create a new menu but I've tried it and it is isn't working. My guess is that it has something to do with the 'mm_menu_0623105927_3' but I really have no idea. Can someone shed some light?

  mm_menu_0623105927_3.addMenuItem("FORMS & APPLICATIONS","window.open('downloads/forms.htm', '_self');");
  mm_menu_0623105927_3.addMenuItem("MEDIA","window.open('downloads/media.htm', '_self');");

(They want me to add a menu to the 'Contact Us' button)

Thank you in advance.

I assume that u have ur if statement and return function to where ever site ur editing,

What I suggest u do for now is to change the last digit of ur submenu\MenuItem.... That is (eg.) in ur case if the last digit of downloads is 3 then for contact us u changed it to 4

U can try this and see if its gona work
