Javascript blues

Date: 01/22/06 (Web Development) Keywords: css, html, asp, java, web

Hey all,

I'm no Javascript aficionado, and I'm working on a web site that I didn't create. I've never had a problem with these menus before, and I code by hand, using HTML-kit... someone else had to work on this page and I have a sneaking suspicion they pulled it into Frontpage or VBstudio or something, because the formatting got all retarded (stripped quotes, weird tabs, extra returns) and now then Javascript menus don't work. I went through the file and put as many things back in place as I could stand, but it doesn't really seem to be fixing the problem. I didn't notice any other major differences, and I'm not really well read in Javascript - so I can't really debug like an expert. That's where you guys come in. Can you help?

The menus on this page (or without a video selected if you prefer) don't work - meaning when you float over the top navbar, there are supposed to be menus that drop down (well, appear) and they don't. The right way looks like this.

The code for the broken one looks like this:

<LINK href="styles.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"> <STYLE type=text/css>@import url('styles_advanced.css'); .red_table { background-color: #771111; border: 5px solid #999966; } .video_header_links { font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica; font-size: .9em; color: #FFFFFF; } .video_title { font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica; font-size: 1em; color: #999966; font-weight: bold; } .search { background: #DDDDDD; border: 3px solid #999999; padding: 5px; } .text_field { font-size: 12px; font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica } .search_text { font-size: 12px; font-color: #000000; font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica; } .search_header { font-size: 20px;
