the <table> is redundant only <ul> is required
Failure is not an option It's included free, you don't have to do anything to get it
If at first you dont succeed, join the club
Of course its always in the last place you look, you dont keep looking after you find it

Please mark solved problems, solved

Why not try something efficient, readable and crossbrowser compatible like:

<div>
 <ul id="demo" style="width : 180px;">
  <li><a href="#">Sample Link 1</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Sample Link 2</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Sample Link 3</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Sample Link 4</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Sample Link 5</a></li>
 </ul>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
document.initMenu = function(id){
  var menulist = document.getElementById(id).getElementsByTagName("li")
 for (var i=0; i<menulist.length; i++){ 
      menulist[i].onmouseover = function(){this.className='onHover'} 
      menulist[i].onmouseout = function(){this.className=''} } }

document.initMenu("demo")
</script>
</body>
</html>
