Hello! I'm doing a website project for English class and am having trouble with my interactive menu. I've attached the menu pictures so you can hopefully help. Below is the HTML code. What I would like to do is be able to run this in Internet Explorer because that's what our school computers use. I know it has something to do with the onmouseover and onmouseout, but I'm not sure. Thanks!

<html>
<head>
</head>
<title>EVEREST EXPEDITIONS</title>




<body>
<a href="main.html"
onmouseover="document.mainlogo.src='mainlogomouseover.jpg'"
onmouseout="document.mainlogo.src='mainlogo.jpg'">
<img src="mainlogo.jpg" alt="Come Climb With Us!" name="mainlogo" /></a>
</br>
<img src="links.jpg" alt="Pick a link!" name="linkspicture" usemap="links" />

<map name="links" >
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,152,70" alt="Pictures and Videos" href="media.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='medialink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.linkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
<area shape="rect" coords="152,0,263,70" alt="Join The Team" href="join.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='joinlink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.jinkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
<area shape="rect" coords="263,0,511,70" alt="Expeditions" href="expeditions.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='expeditionslink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.linkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
<area shape="rect" coords="511,0,720,70" alt="About Us" href="aboutus.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='aboutuslink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.linkspicture.src='links.jpg'">

What I understand about your code is you wish to create hover effect on your menu. Probably my code can help you.

<div class="sf-menu">
	<li><a href="#">HOME</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" > ABOUT US </a>
	<li><a href="#" > CONTACT US </a></li>
</div><!-- end of sf-menu -->

On the css:

.sf-menu ul li a{
	padding:20px;/**to set the link to make it look like boxes**/
	background:#e5e5e5;/**set the background color of boxes**/
	text-decoration:none;/**remove the underline of the link**/
	color:#fff;/**change the color of the link**/
}
.sf-menu ul li a:hover{
	color:#1e1e1e;/**change the color of the link when it is mouseover**/
	background:cyan;/**change the background color when it is mouseover**/
}

Sry, I forgot to put the <ul> tag inside the code. Exact code is something like this:\

<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
		<title>EVEREST EXPEDITIONS</title>
		<style type="text/css">
			.sf-menu ul{
				list-style:none;/**to remove the bullet infront**/
			}
			.sf-menu li{
				padding:20px;/**must be at least the padding below so that the links is not packed**/
			}
			.sf-menu li a{
				padding:20px;/**to set the link to make it look like boxes**/
				background:#e5e5e5;/**set the background color of boxes**/
				text-decoration:none;/**remove the underline of the link**/
				color:#fff;/**change the color of the link**/
			}
			.sf-menu li a:hover{
				color:#1e1e1e;/**change the color of the link when it is mouseover**/
				background:cyan;/**change the background color when it is mouseover**/
			}
		</style>
		<body>
			<a href="main.html">
			<img src="mainlogo.jpg" alt="Come Climb With Us!" name="mainlogo" /></a>
			</br>
			<img src="links.jpg" alt="Pick a link!" name="linkspicture" usemap="links" />
			 
			<map name="links" >
				<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,152,70" alt="Pictures and Videos" href="media.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='medialink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.linkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
				<area shape="rect" coords="152,0,263,70" alt="Join The Team" href="join.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='joinlink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.jinkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
				<area shape="rect" coords="263,0,511,70" alt="Expeditions" href="expeditions.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='expeditionslink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.linkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
				<area shape="rect" coords="511,0,720,70" alt="About Us" href="aboutus.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='aboutuslink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.linkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
			</map>
			 
			<div class="sf-menu">
				<ul>
				<li><a href="main.html">HOME</a></li>
				<li><a href="aboutus.html" > ABOUT US </a></li>
				<li><a href="past.html" > CONTACT US </a></li>
				</ul>
			</div><!-- end of sf-menu -->
		</body>
    </html>

And,please don't forget the doctype as it is needed for inter browser compability.

I tried what you gave me, but it doesn't work. Please note I only know VERY basic CSS so I may be missing something. My code looks like this now:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<title>EVEREST EXPEDITIONS</title>
<style type="text/css">
.sf-menu ul li a{
	padding:20px;/**to set the link to make it look like boxes**/
	background:#e5e5e5;/**set the background color of boxes**/
	text-decoration:none;/**remove the underline of the link**/
	color:#fff;/**change the color of the link**/
}
.sf-menu ul li a:hover{
	color:#1e1e1e;/**change the color of the link when it is mouseover**/
	background:cyan;/**change the background color when it is mouseover**/
}

</style>
<body>
<a href="main.html"
onmouseover="document.mainlogo.src='mainlogomouseover.jpg'"
onmouseout="document.mainlogo.src='mainlogo.jpg'">
<img src="mainlogo.jpg" alt="Come Climb With Us!" name="mainlogo" /></a>
</br>
<img src="links.jpg" alt="Pick a link!" name="linkspicture" usemap="links" />

<map name="links" >
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,152,70" alt="Pictures and Videos" href="media.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='medialink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.linkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
<area shape="rect" coords="152,0,263,70" alt="Join The Team" href="join.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='joinlink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.jinkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
<area shape="rect" coords="263,0,511,70" alt="Expeditions" href="expeditions.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='expeditionslink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.linkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
<area shape="rect" coords="511,0,720,70" alt="About Us" href="aboutus.html" onmouseover="document.linkspicture.src='aboutuslink.jpg'" onmouseout="document.linkspicture.src='links.jpg'">
</map>

<div class="sf-menu">
	<li><a href="main.html">HOME</a></li>
	<li><a href="aboutus.html" > ABOUT US </a>
	<li><a href="past.html" > CONTACT US </a></li>

Any help? This is part of a school assignment thats due very soon

penguino138 -3 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 3 · 2011-10-07T08:18:40+00:00

Oh thank you! So I just take out the list if I want it to be horizontal, not vertical right?

lps 71 Posting Pro in Training · Answer 4 · 2011-10-07T12:49:41+00:00

No, we normally do not take out the list. In horizontal, you may try to style the li to float:left; or try research online for display:inline; property. Can refer the API of w3school.

penguino138 -3 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 5 · 2011-10-08T04:09:53+00:00

Actually, I made it go horizontal. But now I have another problem. On one of my pages, all the text is different size. I'll paste files below. Compare join.html to media.html.

media.html:

<body>
<a href="main.html"
onmouseover="document.mainlogo.src='mainlogomouseover.jpg'"
onmouseout="document.mainlogo.src='mainlogo.jpg'">
<img src="mainlogo.jpg" alt="Come Climb With Us!" name="mainlogo" /></a>

<div class="sf-menu">
				
				<p>
				<a href="main.html">HOME</a>
				<a href="m.html">PICTURES AND VIDEOS</a>
				<a href="join.html">JOIN US</a>
				<a href="expeditions.html">EXPEDITIONS</a>
				<a href="aboutus.html">ABOUT US</a></p>
			</div>

<h1>Pictures</h1>
<p>Below are just a few of the many pictures we take on Everest. Almost everyone goes on an exbedition with a camera, because there are so many beautiful sights.</p>

<!-- Insert at least 5 pictures here -->
<center> 
<img src="" alt-="" /></br></br>
<img src="" alt-="" /></br></br>
<img src="" alt-="" /></br></br>
<img src="" alt-="" /></br></br>
<img src="" alt-="" /></br></br>
 
 
</center>
</br></br>
<h1>Videos</h1>
<p>Taking video on Everest can be a difficult task, as the freezing temperatures make it hard for a video camera to work. Most of time, special video cameras are purchased just to be able to record things.</p>
<center>
<!-- Insert at least 3 videos here -->



</center>
</body>




</html>

join.html:

<!DOCTYPE html><html>

<link href="basic.css" rel="stylesheet" />


<body>
<a href="main.html"

<div class="sf-menu">
