I don't think you can't attach two functions with window.onload, so effectively the 2nd one gets ignored. You could add an event listener function to your js or go for something like the whatever:hover - http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html

Hi folks

I wonder if any of the javascript gurus out there can help a
cut'n'paste non-programmer...

<disclaimer>I didn't design this site. The client's inhouse designer
did. I don't like the dropdowns; they get tedious. But dropdowns she
wants, and dropdowns she gets.</disclaimer>

I have a site build in progress [1] and I'm using an adaptation of
Patrick Griffiths and Dan Webb's Son of Suckerfish dropdowns. I even
have two separate nested lists on each page - and all works as
requested in 'good' browsers; I'm actually pretty happy with it.
Except, of course, when I start testing in Exploder. Fixed all the
layout issues, but IEWin [2] refuses to display the second dropdown -
which should appear on :hover of the text links at right. I assume this
is a bug in my clumsy attempt to duplicate the javascript [3] but I
don't know enough to find it.

Another issue with these dropdaowns is a really unsightly flashing on
and off of the graphics of the main menu as the links are :hovered
over. My virtual PC setup gives slower than normal rendering of web
pages, but even with a real PC I would imagine there's a flash of
white. Any clues?

The relevant rules for the menus in my css file [4] start at line 66,
with the comment /* navigation - top level */.

wet weekend, but it works...

she wants, and dropdowns she gets.

Also:
This. Is. A. Work. In. Progress. Please resist the temptation to
comment on accessibilty (or the lack thereof); I know. The markup is
not finished yet. If you delve into the site and marvel at the multiple
stylesheets, that's how I work. They'll get combined and condensed
later. And the underscore hacks in the css files are a quick first
check and fix for IEWin; they'll be moved to their own files and
delivered vis CCs.

Thanks for your time.
