Common causes for Fireworks-exported pop‑up menus to fail are missing or mis‑placed supporting JavaScript and asset files, or load‑order and script conflicts. The Fireworks/Dreamweaver image‑object export uses small helper scripts plus an images folder; if those helpers are not present or are loaded after the markup that references them, the hover handlers won’t run and the browser console will report errors.

Practical checks: open the browser developer tools (F12) and inspect the Console for “is not defined” errors and the Network tab for 404s. View the page source to confirm the Fireworks-generated script block or external JS file is actually included (and uploaded) and that image paths match the page location. If the helper script is missing, re-export the menu from Fireworks or copy the full exported head/scripts into the page head so the functions exist before the menu markup runs.

If the export and assets are present but the menu still fails, isolate the problem by creating a minimal test page that contains only the exported HTML, its script, and the images folder. If the menu works there, the live site has a conflict (duplicate IDs, another script overriding functions, or load‑order problems). If it still fails in isolation, re-export or rebuild the menu (the export can include legacy browser‑specific code).

Regarding ’s popup‑blocker suggestion: blockers normally stop window.open popups, not hover drop‑downs, so that’s unlikely unless the exported menu actually opens new windows. For longer term reliability, consider replacing the Fireworks export with a simple UL/CSS/ARIA menu — it is far more maintainable and cross‑browser friendly. This summary addresses the common gaps in the thread and ties back to the original Fireworks/Dreamweaver export workflow described by .

It might be a popup blocker.
